NMR-STM of metals at an atomic scale

STM-NMR and STM-ESR are two methods to receive spectroscopic information on an atomic scale, while the common methods could achieve that on macroscopic samples. The research focuses on studying the abilities and limitations of the method, especially in scanning heavy metals. Heavy metals have unique challenges compared to other samples, such as - low resonance frequencies, high density of state and strong quadrupole interactions. Studying the ability of measuring metals at an atomic scale may be extremely helpful in the semiconductor industry and in medicine.
