Ultra-high vacuum fabrication of nanoscale systems for studying single-electron charging by room-temperature atomic force microscopy

In this work we describe ultra-high vacuum fabrication of a nanoscale system that reveals Coulomb blockade at room temperature and its characterization by single-electron sensitive electrostatic force microscopy (e-EFM). The system consists of Au nanoparticles separated from an Fe(001) back electrod...
