Abstract: A scanning tunneling microscope includes a probe, an optical waveguide, a photodetector, a bias power supply. The probe includes a tip made of a sharpened light transparent material and arranged to be opposite and perpendicular to a sample incorporating a quantum structure, and a light transparent electrode which covers a surface of the tip and is optically transparent. The optical waveguide has one end arranged on a proximal side of the tip. The photodector is arranged on the other end of the optical waveguide to detect luminescence from the sample. The bias power supply applies a bias voltage between the light transparent electrode and the sample.

Abstract: An industrial compact synchrotron radiation source includes, for the purpose of prolonging lifetime of a charged particle beam, beam absorbers made of a material having a low photodesorption yield and disposed inside a bending section/vacuum chamber at at least positions upon which the synchrotron radiation is irradiated, and electrically conductive beam stabilizers disposed at positions inside the bending section/vacuum chamber which are distant by a predetermined distance from an orbit of the charged particle beam toward the outer circumferential wall of the bending section/vacuum chamber.

Abstract: An industrial compact synchrotron radiation source which can improve vacuum evacuation performance to prolong life-time of a charged particle beam and supply highly intensive stable synchrotron radiation. In the source, a charged particle beam bending duct forming a vacuum chamber through which the charged particle beam circulates is encompassed by a bending electromagnet, and at least one SR guide duct for guiding the radiation to outside extends from the outer circumferential wall of the bending duct. The SR guide duct is connected through a gate valve to an SR beam line duct for guiding the SR beam to an object to be worked and a vacuum pump is disposed on the side, close to an orbit of the charged particle beam, of the gate valve. The SR guide duct extending from the outer circumferential wall of the bending duct takes a form of a divergent duct which is widened in accordance with a spreading angle of the SR beam traveling through the SR guide duct.
