abstract = {Multi-tip scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is a powerful
method to perform charge transport measurements at the
nanoscale. With four STM tips positioned on the surface of a
sample, four-point resistance measurements can be performed
in dedicated geometric configurations. Here, we present an
alternative to the most often used scanning electron
microscope imaging to infer the corresponding tip positions.
After the initial coarse positioning is monitored by an
optical microscope, STM scanning itself is used to determine
the inter-tip distances. A large STM overview scan serves as
a reference map. Recognition of the same topographic
features in the reference map and in small scale images with
the individual tips allows us to identify the tip positions
with an accuracy of about 20 nm for a typical tip spacing of
∼1μm. In order to correct for effects such as the
non-linearity of the deflection, creep, and hysteresis of
the piezoelectric elements of the STM, a careful calibration
has to be performed.},
