In-situ high-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy was used to follow the coarsening (Ostwald ripening) and decay kinetics of single and multiple two-dimensional TiN islands on atomically flat TiN (001) terraces and in single-atom deep vacancy pits at temperatures of 750–950°C. The rate-limiting mechanism for island decay was found to be surface diffusion rather than adatom attachment/detachment at island edges. We have modeled island-decay kinetics based upon the Gibbs–Thomson and steady state diffusion equations to obtain a step-edge energy per unit length of 0.23±0.05 eV/Å and an activation energy for adatom formation and diffusion of 3.4±0.3 eV.

The negative resistance of the tunneling currents was observed in a semiconducting organic thin film on a graphite substrate by an STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscopy). This negative resistance may be understood by the theory of a molecular resonance tunneling effect.
