About The Book
Principles of Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy (2nd Edition) explores the revolutionary role of electron tunneling spectroscopy (STS) in advancing the understanding of superconductivity. With the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), this book explains how STM has provided groundbreaking images of atoms and the exotic states found in high-temperature superconductors. These images have become iconic in the field of condensed matter physics.

The book covers both the physics and the instrumentation behind these advancements, offering a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art techniques in tunneling and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The second edition expands on the previous edition by incorporating new developments in STM technology, as well as advances in imaging, Fourier Transform STM, and the application of STS to single atoms, molecules, and high-temperature superconductors.

Key Features:

• Updated Content: The second edition introduces new topics, such as atomic-resolution imaging and Fourier Transform Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy.

• Comprehensive Coverage: It provides a detailed analysis of STM and STS, covering both their theoretical and practical applications.

• Applications: Special focus is given to the application of STS to high-temperature superconductivity and nanotechnology.

• Expert Insight: Written by E. L. Wolf, a recognized authority in the field of electron tunneling spectroscopy, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and students alike.
