The invention of the scanning tunneling microscope was a singularity event in the field of surface science and condensed matter physics. The ability to visualize individual atoms in an atomic structure was a huge step forward in experimental development, one for which the inventors were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. While a groundbreaking development, the Scanning Tunneling Microscope is conceptually simple device which exploits both quantum mechanics and conventional mechanics in its operation. This paper will explore the scanning tunneling microscope, with a brief review of the history behind the development, then move on to discuss the physics and the art behind the use of STM, important developments made since its discovery, and where this technology is available to UTK students in the greater Knoxville area.
