Fig. 4: Impact of different mono-layers on resulting STM image.
From: Scanning tunneling microscopy of buried dopants in silicon: images and their uncertainties
Panels represent simulated STM images for a single P dopant at depth 4.75 aSi (20th mono-layer) for different tip orbitals (left to right). Numbers in each row denote the number of mono-layer contributions (counting from the top surface) included in the resulting image. It takes at least 10 mono-layers (bottom row) for the s-type tip image (and therefore, for the general tip state as well) to converge.
