microscopy (STM) probe. Conductive PG is a relatively modern nanocomposite material used
for micro-pencil refills containing a polymer-based binding agent and graphite flakes. Its high
conductivity and immunity against surface contamination, with a low price, make it seem like a
highly suitable material for electrode manufacturing in general. For the tip production, three methods
were developed and are further described in the paper. For the production, three commercially
available polymer graphite rods were used. Each has been discussed in terms of performance within
the tunneling microscope and within other potential applications.Workplace Institute of Scientific Instruments Contact Martina Šillerová, sillerova@ISIBrno.Cz, Tel.: 541 514 178 Year of Publishing 2020 Electronic address https://www.mdpi.com/2079-4991/9/12/1756/htm
