Abstract
The experimental task of this thesis is to prepare magnetic and non-magnetic bulk impurities and to investigate these systems by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In the first part of this chapter the sample preparation will be described. The main experimental instrumentation, the low temperature STM as well as the standard theory for the interpretation are introduced in the second part.

Notes
- 1.
According to calibration measurements, a constant heating power of 3 W corresponds to a sample temperature of \(T_{S} = 4 2 0 \,{\text{K}}\).
- 2.
An identical board takes care of the z–piezo displacement and realizes the feedback loop.
- 3.
An identical formalism was introduced before by Feenstra [23]. In this paper he considered a tip movement towards the surface while acquiring STS data at one lateral tip position.
