In this paper, a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is presented that operates in a 27.5 T magnetic field within a hybrid magnet. The coarse approach of the STM is realized by using an inertial piezoelectric motor, and the scanning is realized by using a miniature scanner, which stands alone on a sapphire base. A combined vibration isolation system consisting of a brick-rubber-brick stack and two springs is used to isolate the vibration generated from the magnet. An enclosed copper shield is used to prevent sound from entering the tip-sample junction. The sound and vibration isolation measures highly improve the stability of the STM imaging. All the materials selected to construct the STM head are nonmagnetic. The drift rates of the STM in the X-Y plane and Z direction are as low as 26.2 pm/min and 34.6 pm/min, respectively, under ambient conditions. The high performance of the homebuilt STM was demonstrated by graphite hexagonal lattice images obtained in magnet fields ranging from 0 T to 27.5 T even without the protection of a vacuum and low temperatures. As far as known, this is the first STM that operates in a hybrid magnet. It is also the first STM that can obtain graphite hexagonal lattice images in magnetic fields up to 27.5 T. Our results greatly contribute to the further STM studies under ambient conditions and ultrahigh magnetic fields.
