Three dimensional(3D) topological insulators(TIs) of Bi binary alloys are characterized by a bulk energy gap with strong spin-orbit coupling and metallic surface states protected by time-reversal symmetry. It was reported that film forms of such materials were advantageous over bulk forms due to less defect density and better crystallinity. So far, the films have been prepared on several substrates including semiconductors and graphene. But, there were no studies on metal substrates. For electronic transport experiments and device applications, it is necessary to know epitaxial relation between TIs and metal electrodes. In this study, Atomically flat films of Bi2Se3 were grown on a Au(111) metal substrate by in-situ molecular beam epitaxy. Using home-built scanning tunneling microscope, we observed hexagonal atomic structures which corresponded to the outmost selenium atomic layer of Bi2Se3. Triangular-shaped defects known as Selenium vacancy were also found.

The interaction of water molecules with solid surfaces has been a subject of considerable interests, due to its importance in the fields from atmospheric and environmental phenomena to biology, catalysis and electrochemistry [1,2]. Among various kinds of surfaces, a lot of theoretical and experimental studies have been performed regarding water on MgO(100), however, to date, there has been no direct observation of water molecules on MgO by scanning tunneling microscope (STM) as compared with those on metal surface. Here, we will present the direct observation and manipulation of single water molecules on ultrathin MgO(100) films using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LT-STM) [3]. Our results rationalize the previous theoretical predictions of isolated water molecules on MgO including the optimum adsorption sites and non-dissociative adsorption of water. Moreover, we were able to dissociate a water molecule by exciting the vibrational mode of water, which is unattainable on metal surfaces. The enhanced residual time of tunneling electrons in molecules on the insulating film is responsible for this unique pathway toward dissociation of water.

Scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) such as the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and the atomic force microscope (AFM) were used for surface modification tools at the nanometer scale. Material surfaces, i. e., titanium, hydrogen-terminated silicon and trimethylsilyl organosilane monolayer on silicon, were locally oxidized with the best lateral spatial resolution of 20nm. The principle behind this proximal probe oxidation method is scanning probe anodization, that is, the SPM tip-sample junction connected through a water column acting as a minute electrochemical cell. An SPM-nanolithogrphy process was demonstrated using the organosilane monolayer as a resist. Area-selective chemical modifications, i. e., etching, electroless plating with gold, monolayer deposition and immobilization of latex nanoparticles; were achieved in nano-scale resolution. The area-selectivity was based on the differences in chemical properties between the SPM-modified and unmodified regions.

Despite much works have been done on the geometric structures of ripples, defects and edge atoms in a graphene device, there has been no report showing the direct correlation between the structures and the transport property. Unlike scanning tunneling microscopy or other electron microscopes, Scanning Gate Microscope (SGM) is a unique microscopic tool with which the local electronic structure and the transport property of a device can be measured simultaneously. We have performed a transport measurement in nanometer scale using a scanning gate microscope (SGM). We have found the nanoscopic pictures of electron and hole puddles and the role of graphene- device edges in the transport measurements. These experimental findings were successfully explained with a theoretical model.

This paper describes the three dimension model and simulation results of a thermal actuator based on polyMUMPs process, known as thermal multimorph actuator. The device has potential application in micro-transducers such as atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip. This device made of a multi-layer materials stack together with consisted of polysilicon, $SiO_2$ and gold. A mask layout design, three dimension model and simulation results are reported and discussed.

현재의 전자빔 묘화의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 마이크로 전자빔 시스템의 전자 광학 렌즈를 제작하였고 전자빔 묘화실험을 통하여 이를 검증하였다. 마이크로머시닝기술을 이용하여 실리콘 전극을 제작하고 이를 양극 접합을 통해 조립하여 다층 전극의 전자 광학 렌즈를 제작하였다. 완성된 전자 광학 소자를 초고진공 챔버에 장착하여, STM(Scanning Tunneling Microscope) 팁에서 방출된 전자빔의 focusing 특성을 관찰하였으며 전자를 집속하여 리소그라피를 수행하였다. E-beam 감광막은 PMMA(Poly-methylmethacrylate)를 사용하였고 0.13㎛의 패턴을 형성시킬 수 있었다.

Water adsorption on Si(001)-c($4{\times}2$) surface is investigated at low temperature by using scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and ab initio pseudopotential calculations. $H_2O$ configurations of single and cluster of two molecules reveal "Y", "X" and "W" depressions as footprints on the surface. Atomic structures of $H_2O$ molecules, which are dissociatively adsorbed on the Si(001)-c($4{\times}2$) surface, are studied with simulated and STM images of the filled states. The generation processes of the growth configurations are systematically considered with elapsed time.

Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) such as Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) was shown to be the powerful tool for nano-scale characterization of a fracture surface . AFM was used to study cross sectional profiles and dimensions of fatigue striations in 2017-T351 aluminum alloy. Their widths (SW) and heights (SH) were measured from the cross sectional profiles of three-dimension AFM images. The following results that will be helpful to understand the fatigue crack growth mechanism were obtained. (1) Coincidence of the crack growth rate with the striation width was found down to the growth rate of 10-5 mm/cycle. (2) The relation of SH=0.085(SW)1.2 was obtained. (3) The ratio of the striation height to its width SH/SW did not depend on the stress intensity factor range K and the stress ratio R. (4) Not only the SW but also the SH changed linearly with the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) when plotted in log-log scale. From these results, the applicability of the AFM to nano-fractography is discussed.
