The spectroscopic study with the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) of systems where surface states are prominent is discussed. The observation of surface states in the STM and the success of perturbative calculations of the tunneling current in such cases is attributed to a common cause, namely th

We present a theoretical study of the influence of localized d states from a transition metal surface on the tunneling spectra obtained by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). This problem is considered here for the system formed by a Ni(0 0 1) surface and an Al or Ni tip. It is found, that the d
The present review focuses on a local view of two important phenomena in condensed matter physics, the lifetime of electrons in surface states on noble metals and the scattering of conduction electrons at magnetic impurities: the Kondo effect. Spectroscopic signatures of both effects have been obser
