• be applied reliably. Other scanning probe methods sensitive to surface electronic properties, for example conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM) [15] or scanning tunnelling potentiometry (STP) [16], require a current passing through the tip at each point. As such, the tip–sample contact geometry
