扫描隧道和原子力探针的发明，通过提供原子空间分辨率的表面几何和电子结构的真实空间信息，彻底改变了我们对表面的理解。然而，纳米尺寸的探针尖端和表面的结包含比传统的隧道和原子力测量所固有的更多的信息。这篇综述总结了最近的进展，推动在纳米尺度的空间分辨率的探测功能的限制，在重要的科学问题的背景下。问题，如分子界面接触，超导性，电子自旋，等离子体场聚焦，表面扩散，键振动和相变突出的例子中，本地探针阐明复杂的功能。本地探针的主要类别被认为是，包括电磁特性，电子相关性，表面结构和化学，光学相互作用，和机电耦合。
The invention of scanning tunneling and atomic force probes revolutionized our understanding of surfaces by providing real-space information about the geometric and electronic structure of surfaces at atomic spatial resolution. However, the junction of a nanometer-sized probe tip and a surface contains much more information than is intrinsic to conventional tunneling and atomic force measurements. This review summarizes recent advances that push the limits of the probing function at nanometer-scale spatial resolution in the context of important scientific problems. Issues such as molecular interface contact, superconductivity, electron spin, plasmon field focusing, surface diffusion, bond vibration, and phase transformations are highlighted as examples in which local probes elucidate complex function. The major classes of local probes are considered, including those of electromagnetic properties, electron correlations, surface structure and chemistry, optical interactions, and electromechanical coupling.
