Notes: We propose to use silver tips for scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Silver is the cheapest noble metal that is practically chemically inactive in the air environment. A simple reliable procedure of the tip preparation and resharpening is presented. The procedure is based on two-step electrochemical processing resulting in final tip curvature of less than 200 nm in radius as seen by an electron microscope. The tips show durability for at least a week of daily operation in an air STM.
