Abstract: In this paper, we report the local work function measurements on the Cu(111)-Au, and Cu(111)-Pd surfaces with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We successfully observed the local work function difference between the Au/Pd overlayer and the Cu substrate, the decreased work function at the step edges. We also found that the work function of the Pd film is larger than that of the bulk Pd(111). T he lower work function at step edges can be explained by the dipole moment forma tion. It is demonstrated that the local work function measurement by STM is a po werful way to identify different elements with nanometer resolution.
