Service for Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks (Rospatent) has decided to issue a patent “Method of automatic distributed calibration of probe microscope scanner” to R. V. Lapshin, the author of invention

- January 2006 – A group of Japanese
scientists M. Aketagawa, K. Takada, P. Rerkkumsup, Y. Togawa, and
H. Honda reported precisely controllable STM tip movement by carbon atoms on highly
oriented pyrolytic graphite surface along a crystalline axis (Meas.
Sci. Technol., vol. 17, pp. 513-518). Much better experimental results were
obtained by R. V. Lapshin 8 years ago! Lapshin was probably the first who
successfully demonstrated a practical feasibility of the atom-by-atom tracking on a
regular crystal surface along a crystallographic direction. By unknown reasons the
important and interesting work of the Japanese researchers does not mentioned any of
Lapshin's results published elsewhere in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, and 2004. The other relevant reference on paper of B. S. Swartzentruber (Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 76, pp. 459-462) published in 1996 was also omitted in their report.
