@simplepimple101 It has an effective resolution down to 1% of an atomic radius. I can't be arsed to do the math to determine an actual magnification factor.
-
@xbakano are you retarded?
-
how many times does the stm magnify something? (the largest magnification)
-
where the crist is the atoms....and the protons neutrons electrons.....video is shit
-
wtf?
-
Shouldn't it be electrons jumping from the atoms to the probe??
-
plz add some commentry...
-
Would be cooler with some protusions @ surface...
-
No reaction whatsoever from the substrate being exposed to the scan emission , no increased atomical velocity or electron orbital distance increase, or a higher shell density, or change in atomical polar alignments?

This is NOT just a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), this is the animation of a spin-polarized STM. The tip is magnetized (indicated by the arow). This animation shows how the SP-STM scans across an antiferromagnetic surface of manganese atoms. This experiment was the first time that an antiferromagnetic surface could be spin-resolved down to the atomic scale.
This is a topic that requires way more space than available for a comment. Therefore I'm not going to explain more of it now.
