47. (a) Note here the 1 nm tip-sample distance is only an approximate assumption, the tip-sample distance will change when the bias voltage is changed: in general, smaller bias corresponds to a smaller tipsample distance. However, according to the exponential dependence of tunneling current with tip-sample distance, I ∞ V exp(-d √Φ), we do not expect large change in the tip-sample distance when the bias changes between 800 mV to 1.5 V. It should also be noted that we have made no effort in quantitatively determining the tip-substrate distance. The determination of tip-sample distance has been extensively pursued both theoretically and experimentally, and the tipsample distances are generally believed to be in the range of a few angstroms to around 1 nm [for example, see Tersoff, J.; Hamann, D. R. Phys. Rev. B 1985, 31, 8051.
