The design criterion for a typical scanning tunneling

Chapter 41, Problem 35

(choose chapter or problem)

The design criterion for a typical scanning tunneling microscope (STM) specifies that it must be able to detect, on the sample below its tip, surface features that differ in height by only 0.002 00 nm. Assuming the electron transmission coefficient is e22CL with C 5 10.0 nm21, what percentage change in electron transmission must the electronics of the STM be able to detect to achieve this resolution?
