Theoretical analysis of a dual-probe scanning tunneling microscope setup on graphene
arXiv:1401.8156 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.096801
Abstract
Experimental advances allow for the inclusion of multiple probes to measure the transport properties of a sample surface. We develop a theory of dual-probe scanning tunnelling microscopy using a Green's Function formalism, and apply it to graphene. Sampling the local conduction properties at finite length scales yields real space conductance maps which show anisotropy for pristine graphene systems and quantum interference effects in the presence of isolated impurities. The spectral signatures of the Fourier transform of real space conductance maps include characteristics that can be related to different scattering processes. We compute the conductance maps of graphene systems with different edge geometries or height fluctuations to determine the effects of non-ideal graphene samples on dual-probe measurements.
