摘要: By placing a photon detector near the tip-sample region of scanning tunneling microscope, we have measured isochromat photon-emission spectra polycrystalline tantalum and Si(111)7×7 at energies 9.5 eV. Such contain electronic-structure information comparable to inverse photoemission spectroscopy, but with high lateral/spatial resolution. The implications this new observation are discussed.
