Manipulation of defects on oxide surfaces via barrier reduction induced by atomic force microscope tips

Author(s) : Watkins, MB , Shluger, AL
Description : We used theoretical modeling to propose possible mechanisms of defect manipulation using a noncontact atomic force microscope (NC-AFM) on a generic oxide, MgO. First, we simulated NC-AFM images of a Ca substitutional defect on the MgO surface aiming to help identify a site where tip polarity could b...
