Electrostatic potentials of atomic nanostructures at metal surfaces quantified by scanning quantum dot microscopy
Abstract The discrete and charge-separated nature of matter — electrons and nuclei — results in local electrostatic fields that are ubiquitous in nanoscale structures and relevant in catalysis, nanoelectronics and quantum nanoscience. Surface-averaging techniques provide only limited experimental ac...
