The ultrafast response of a scanning tunneling microscope

The development of the ultrafast scanning tunneling microscope is reviewed. It is shown that the response of the tunneling gap of a scanning tunneling microscope to excitation by a subpicosecond electrical pulse has a capacitive component, the origin of which is quantum mechanical
