Description

Nanoscale imaging techniques can be accurate, but sometimes things are not as they seem. I will present two cases where the imaging technique itself causes the measured phenomenon. First case relates to TEM imaging of a metal atom diffusing in graphene, and the second relates to STM imaging of small potassium islands on graphite. In both cases theory is needed to interpret the experimental findings.
