Scanning tunneling microscope study of small metal particles--the               understanding of the electronic properties of small pieces of                   metal is a subject of growing importance as the microelectronics                industry pushes toward smaller circuitry.  As the size of a block               of metal diminishes, new effects, not visible in larger samples,                arise and eventually dominate simple ohmic metallic behavior.                   For sizes less than roughly 1000A, at least three small size                    effects must be considered:  quantum size effects, discrete                     charging effects, and weak localization.  To study these effects                in small (10A-1000A) normal metal and superconducting particles.                I am constructing a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope (STM)               capable of electronic energy level spectroscopy on individual                   particles.  With the STM, I will investigate a size regime as yet               inaccessible to lithographic techniques while avoiding the                      ambiguities of ensemble averaging by probing single particles.
