We studied the structural and electronic properties of atomic layer iron films on clean and carbide covered W(110) crystal surfaces. Surface structures were studied first by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). By means of retracting the tip several nanometres from the sample and increasing the tip bias with respect to the sample, we are able to measure field emitted current both on the tip and on the sample side of the junction. Also, secondary electrons (SE) generated on the sample were collected with a channeltron. Secondary electron maps of the surfaces acquired simultaneously with the absorbed current maps revealed that the local electronic nature of the iron-tungsten system is much richer than the STM shows. The nanometre lateral resolution attained in SE maps and the measurement of the image potential states on different surface locations presents the Topografiner as a potential candidate for atomic level spectroscopy on surfaces.
