Application definition for temperature-dependent IV curve measurements ...

Application definition for temperature-dependent IV curve measurements #2023.19.7 This Nexus file is currently only for STS data, it will be updated to handle the STM image mode in the future with a focus on bias spectroscopy in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy.

In this application definition, times should be specified always together with a UTC offset.

This is the application definition describing temperature (T) dependent current voltage (IV) curve measurements. For this, a temperature is set. After reaching the temperature, a voltage sweep is performed. For each voltage, a current is measured. Then, the next desired temperature is set and an IV measurement is performed. The data can be visualized in a tensor with: I (NXsensor_C, NXsoftware_Read_offset, NXcircuit) parameters: V has (NXsource+offset, NXsoftware_Scan_offset, NXsensor_V, NXcircuit) T has (NXsource, NXsoftware_Scan_offset, NXsensor_T) x has (NXsoftware_Scan_offset) y has (NXsoftware_Scan_offset) z has (NXsoftware_Scan_offset)

For regular use, a range of 300-500 ms may be recommended, but when capturing the resonance of a high-Q cantilever, longer values in the range of several seconds might be necessary. Usually, this parameter does not require manual adjustment within this module, as the sweep modules automatically set this value according to the sweep timings. (e.g. 500E-3)
