Rohrer, Heinrich

Rohrer, Heinrich was horn in St. Gallen, Switzerland in 1933. He did his PhD work at ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) on superconductivity and spent a 2-year postdoctoral at Rutgers University in New Jersey. In 1963 he joined the IBM research laboratory.

IBM researchers Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer develop the first scanning tunneling microscope. 

Development of scanning tunnel microscopy (STM) by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer in 1981 pointed the way to breakthroughs in understanding basic chemical processes. Since then, STM and atomic force microscopy (AFM), as well as optical force microscopy proximal probes,1 have been used to manipulate individual atoms and molecules on surfaces. 

A. No. But, Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) gives us the chance to study and view individual atoms on the surface of materials. STM was invented in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer in Switzerland. These scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics (1986). 

Another decade later, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer took the tungsten wire used in the STEM to extract electrons by field emission, and mounted it on a piezo-driven scanner. Instead of defiecting the electron beam by a...
