ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Provided is a method for recording information utilizing a scanning tunneling microscope in conjunction with a modulated light source. The method comprises providing an information medium having an information layer as its topmost layer, and passing the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope over the surface of the information medium in conjunction with the tip of the scanning tunneling microscope and/or the surface of the information medium being irradiated with light from a focused light source. The irradiation is modulated in accordance with the information to be recorded such that a detectable change, e.g., a chemical or physical change is induced in the information layer of the medium to create a track of recorded bits of information. The method provides one with the ability to record information with the spatial resolution permitted by a scanning tunneling microscope and with the speed of an optical recording system.
