摘要
A comprehensive room-temperature study of the electron tunneling in the STM junction between a tungsten tip and a highly oriented pyrolitic graphite surface is presented. The conductance versus voltage dependencies dI/dV(V) obtained by numerical filtration and differentiation of the direct measured current - voltage characteristics I(V) have a number of narrow resistive peaks at the bias voltages located near the corresponding tungsten and HOPG phonon frequencies. The plotted histograms of the frequency distribution of the global minimum in dI/dV(V) curves enable us to draw a conclusion on the phonon origin of this fine structure. A model that could qualitatively explain the observed data is discussed.
