ABSTRACT
High-resolution experimental equipment has now been developed to fully explore the novel physical phenomena in the emergent layered materials. Specifically, the observed phenomena will become complex and diverse in the presence of a uniform perpendicular magnetic field. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has become one of the most important experimental techniques in resolving the diversified nanostructures since the first discovery by G. Binnig and H. Rohrer in 1982. STM is capable of revealing the surface topographies in the real space with both lateral and vertical atomic resolutions, e.g., the nanoscaled bond lengths, crystal symmetries, planar/nonplanar geometries, step edges, local vacancies, amorphous dislocations, adsorbed adatoms & molecules, and nanoclusters & nanoislands. The high-resolution STS measurements under the specific energies can directly map the spatial probability distributions of wave functions in the absence and presence of a uniform perpendicular magnetic field.
