Miniature active damping stage for scanning probe applications in ultra high vacuum
Maximilian Assig, Andreas Koch, Wolfgang Stiepany, Carola Straßer, Alexandra Ast, Klaus Kern, and Christian R. Ast
When a damping stage based on a Gough-Stewart platform is positioned in ultra-high vacuum as close to a scanning probe microscope as possible, vibrations originating from the experimental setup are reduced. As a result, the apparatus improves the stability and quality of scanning tunneling microscopy topographic images of a Si(111) 7 × 7 surface.
