Download or read book Electroluminescence from Plasmonic Excitations in a Scanning Tunnelling Microscope written by Edelmann, Kevin and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents the design and commissioning of a new low-temperature Scanning Tunnelling Microscope equipped with an innovative light collection setup using an integrated, micro-fabricated mirror tip. Commissioning experiments demonstrate the capabilities of this new instrument and reproduce known effects regarding gap plasmons on noble-metal surfaces. Furthermore, different contrasts in the plasmon-mediated light emission from Cobalt nano-islands on a Copper (111) substrate are reported.
