RHK Technology - Integrated Surface Science Solutions

Day 2 at the Nanomanipulation Workshop at the University of Basel!

RHK Technology is excited to be connecting with researchers and innovators all week long through June 5. If you’re attending, stop by to learn more about the PanScan Freedom II and see how RHK solutions are supporting advanced nanoscale research and discovery.

We look forward to meeting you in Basel!

New research by György Kálvin of the HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research and collaborators reveals how even trace amounts of ambient contamination can impact ultra-sensitive surface measurements at the nanoscale. Conducted using an RHK PanScan Freedom system at cryogenic temperatures (8.7 K) under ultra-high vacuum, the study highlights just how critical pristine conditions are for accurate scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy.

The paper features detailed STM images showing how surface contamination evolves and affects measurement quality, offering a clear visual look at these otherwise invisible effects.
