What is High Pressure Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (HP-STM)?
High Pressure Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (HP-STM) is an advanced variant of the traditional Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) technique, designed to operate under high pressure conditions. Unlike conventional STM, which typically functions under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions, HP-STM allows for the investigation of surfaces and reactions at pressures closer to those found in industrial catalytic processes. This is particularly significant in the field of catalysis, where reactions often occur at higher pressures and temperatures.
