“…The feasibility of electron tunneling through an air gap using a squeezable electron tunneling junction has been previously reported [6]. Recently it has been shown 171 that, for ambient pressure operation, lateral and vertical resolutions of 1 nm and better than 0.1 nm, respectively, can be achieved.…”

Microstructure surface texture is studied with the Scanning Tunneling Microscope operated at atmospheric air pressure. A standardization procedure for surface microstructure is proposed. We introduce two parameters in order to characterize surface areas in the micrometre and submicrometre range, which we term "granular roughness" and "microroughness". Measurements of a class "0" standard block gauge give a granular roughness R, value of 0.02 pm.

We present here the historic development of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM); the physical and technical aspects have already been covered in a few recent reviews and two conference proceedings' and many others are expected to follow in the near future. A technical summary is given by the sequence of figures, which stands alone. Our narrative is by no means a recommendation of how research should be done; it simply reflects what we thought, how we acted, and what we felt. However, it would certainly be gratifying if it encouraged a more relaxed attitude towards doing science. Perhaps we were fortunate in having common training in superconductivity,

“…Our experimental approach was similar to that of Moreland et al [7], who prepared squeezable AG(s)/ naphthalene(s)/Ag(s) tunnel junctions by first forming the junction in liquid naphthalene, then solidifying the molecular spacer. In the experiments reported here, quasistable Hg(1)/H20(1)/Hg(1) junctions [2,3] of welldefined Hg-Hg separation s and junction area AJ were formed at 275 K, and then the temperature was lowered to 265 K at -3 mK/s.…”
