Thermal radiation scanning tunneling microscopy
Article Abstract:
An infrared near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) that operates without any external illumination and behaves as an optical scanning tunneling microscope is described. The first thermal radiation scanning tunneling microscope (TRSTM) images of thermally excited surface plasmons are shown and the spatial coherence effects in near-field thermal emission are demonstrated.

Quantum mirages formed by coherent projection of electronic structure
Article Abstract:
The existence of quantum mirages was demonstrated using the Kondo resonance which forms around magnetic moments on the metal surface. The electronic structure around a magnetic Co atom was projected to a remote location on the surface of a Cu crystal. A strong Kondo signature was detected at the atom and at the empty focus.
