Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Induced Luminescence Studies of Semiconductor Nanostructures
This thesis treats scanning tunneling luminescence (STL) investigations of semiconductor nanostructures. The STL technique combines scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with detection of photons, induced by the tunneling electrons. The high spatial resolution in STM and the local excitation allow for optical investigations on the nanometer-scale. The work concerns design and implementation of an o
