Abstract

By combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and the optical pump-probe technique using a femtosecond pulse laser, we have developed a new microscopy, shaken pulse-pair-excited STM (SPPX-STM), that enables us to observe the dynamics of electronic structures with the ultimate spatial and temporal resolutions.
