The scanning tunneling microscope as a tool for nanofabrication
Nanotechnology celebrates 25 years in an interview with the author of one of the most cited and downloaded papers: 'The scanning tunneling microscope as a tool for nanofabrication'. Published in 1990, in the very first issue of Nanotechnology, it reported on the diverging uses of the scanning tunneling microscope, beyond its immediate use as an imaging tool.
Professor Phillip E Russell, from the Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, talks about the research behind the paper and the impact it has had on further research. The paper is available on line at http://iopscience.iop.org/0957-4484/1...
