摘要: We demonstrate the validity of using closed-loop z(V) conductance scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements for determination effective barrier by comparing them to more conventional open-loop I(z) measurements. Through development a numerical model, individual contributions present in these experiments, such as work function and presence an image charge, are determined quantitatively. This opens up possibility determining barriers both vacuum molecular systems alternative detailed manner
