Abstract
Theoretical studies of the influence of electronic and atomic structur e of a tip on STM images and STS spectra are presented. This is discus sed for the scanning of clean Al(001) surface performed within alumini um tips of a different geometry. The influence of d states of a tip on STS spectra for the Ni-tip/Al(001)-sample system is also studied. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
