In scanning tunneling microscopy, we witness in recent years a paradigm shift from “just
imaging” to detailed spectroscopic measurements at the nanoscale and multi-tip scanning …

The role of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents in tumour growth and prognosis is not
new, and currently under intense investigation. Some randomised data strongly suggest that …

The step-flow growth mode is used to fabricate Si and Ge nanowires with a width of 3.5 nm
and a thickness of one atomic layer (0.3 nm) by self-assembly. Alternating deposition of Ge …

Three-dimensional topological insulators host surface states with linear dispersion, which
manifest as a Dirac cone. Nanoscale transport measurements provide direct access to the …

We present a multitip scanning tunneling microscope (STM) where four independent STM
units are integrated on a diameter of 50 mm. The coarse positioning of the tips is done under …

Four-point measurements using a multitip scanning tunneling microscope are carried out in
order to determine surface and step conductivities on Si (111) surfaces. In a first step …

Abstract Background: The landmark Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) trial revealed an
impressive reduction of stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction after prolonged 30-month …

Modern microscopes with a spatial resolution reaching deep into the nanoscale or even into
the picometer scale are known to be sensitive to external vibrations. This problem occurs for …

We present a new type of piezoelectric nanopositioner called KoalaDrive which can have a
diameter less than 2.5 mm and a length smaller than 10 mm. The new operating principle …

The measurement of the two-dimensional island density after submonolayer deposition is
used to determine the effect of material, surface reconstruction, and strain on surface …
