β¦ Synopsis
A method was developed for fabricating the tips with double tunneling (DTT) which is based on the successive electrodeposition of polyaniline films and Cu or Tl,O, clusters on a Pt-lr-tip-ultramicroelectrode (UME). Specific features of Cu crystallization and STM behaviour of modified tips demonstrate continuity of the polymer film. The presence of junctions metal/insulator/metal (semiconductor) at the end of the prepared tip is also proved by STM experiments.

## Abstract We have used scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) to study the surface topography of several materials in the nanometre range. In order to solve some problems of STM, we have integrated it with a conventional scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The aim of this paper is to analyse critic
