Abstract
We constructed an AFM/STM system with a conductive lever. We applied this system to the observation of a graphite surface in air. As a result, for the first time, atomically resolved AFM and STM images were obtained simultaneously, and it was found that the lattice pattern appearing in the AFM image was different from that in the STM image. In both AFM and STM images, distortion of lattice periodicity due to frictional effect was observed.Keywords
