Fermi surface of copper

Aims:

• Understanding quasi-particle interference.
• Understanding how to apply STM to determine the Fermi surface of a metal
• Reminding on Scanning Tunneling Microscope; Meaning of Fourier transformed STM data

Additional ressources:

• On the experiment: Nobel prize 1986: Scanning Tunneling Microscope (for ST-Microscopy and ST-Spectroscopy)
