A THEORY OF VACUUM TUNNELING MICROSCOPY1
A theory for tunneling between a real surface and a model probe tip, applicable to the "scanning tunneling microscope" is presented. The tunneling current is found to be proportional to the local density of states of the surface, at the position of the tip. It can be shown that the tunneling conductance has exponential dependence on the distance of the nearest approach to the surface
متن کاملCoherent-electron intrinsic multistability in a double-barrier tunneling diode
Recently, a new mechanism leading to electrical multistability in coherent-electron tunneling devices was proposed. The reflection of coherent electrons at a barrier leads to the formation of resonant states in a quantum well in front of the barrier, and the resulting strongly modulated local density of states allows for multiple stable solutions of the Poisson equation to exist at fixed bias. ...
متن کاملElectron-photon interaction in resonant tunneling diodes
– We develop a model to describe the transmission coefficient and tunneling current in the presence of electron-photon coupling in a resonant diode. Our model takes into account multiphoton processes as well as the transitions between electronic states with different wave numbers. This is crucial to explain the experimental features observed in the tunneling current through a double barrier whi...
متن کاملTunneling rates in electron transport through double-barrier molecular junctions in a scanning tunneling microscope.
The scanning tunneling microscope enables atomic-scale measurements of electron transport through individual molecules. Copper phthalocyanine and magnesium porphine molecules adsorbed on a thin oxide film grown on the NiAl(110) surface were probed. The single-molecule junctions contained two tunneling barriers, vacuum gap, and oxide film. Differential conductance spectroscopy shows that electro...
متن کاملQuantum noise in ac-driven resonant-tunneling double-barrier structures: Photon-assisted tunneling versus electron antibunching
We study the quantum noise of the electronic current in a double-barrier system with a single resonant level. In the framework of the Landauer formalism, we treat the double barrier as a quantum coherent scattering region that can exchange photons with a coupled electric field, e.g., a laser beam or a periodic ac bias voltage. As a consequence of the manifold parameters that are involved in thi...
