Terahertz STM for Imaging Ultrafast Nanoscale Dynamics

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We couple terahertz (THz) pulses to the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and observe THz-pulse-induced tunneling in an STM, enabling a new ultrafast technique called THz-STM that allows for direct imaging of sub-picosecond dynamics on surfaces with nanometer spatial resolution. Imaging of sub-picosecond carrier capture dynamics into a single semiconductor nanodot is demonstrated. The potential of THz-STM for imaging ultrafast phenomena with atomic resolution is discussed.
