| SXSPM |
Synchrotron X-ray Scanning Probe Microscopy |
| Synchrotron X-ray Scanning Probe Microscopy is superordinate to all new emerging microscopy techniques that combine synchrotron radiation with any scanning probe variant. It can provide chemical information with extremely high spatial resolution. Magnetic contrast is obtained by utilizing polarized x-rays. |
| SXSTM |
Synchrotron X-ray Scanning Tunneling Microscopy |
| Synchrotron X-ray Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is a technique that combines scanning tunneling microscopy with synchrotron radiation. It provides electronic, chemical, and magnetic contrast due to x-ray enhanced contributions to the tunneling current. |
| SXAFM |
Synchrotron X-ray Atomic Force Microscopy |
| Synchrotron X-ray Atomic Force Microscopy combines atomic force microscopy and synchrotron radiation. Chemical sensitivity is obtained because the number of photoejected electrons is directly correlated to the presence of core levels in the sample. |
