Probing confined fields with single molecules and vice versa.
Single dye molecules are used as local probes to map the spatial distribution of the squared electric field components in the focus of a high numerical aperture lens. Simulated field distributions are quantitatively verified by experimentally obtained fluorescence excitation maps. We show that annular illumination can be used to engineer the field distribution in the focus at a dielectric/air i...
متن کاملProbing Composite Fermions with a Wigner Crystal and Vice-Versa
Two-dimensional electron gases in high magnetic fields have proven to be a remarkably rich playground for the study of strongly-correlated quantum many-body systems. In two dimensions with a strong magnetic field, the cyclotron motion of the electrons completely quenches the particle kinetic energy into Landau levels which are macroscopically degenerate–the number of states in a Landau level is...
متن کاملScanning near-field optical microscopy.
An average human eye can see details down to 0,07 mm in size. The ability to see smaller details of the matter is correlated with the development of the science and the comprehension of the nature. Today's science needs eyes for the nano-world. Examples are easily found in biology and medical sciences. There is a great need to determine shape, size, chemical composition, molecular structure and...
متن کاملProbing exciton propagation and quenching in carbon nanotubes with near-field optical microscopy
We report on near-field optical imaging of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), observing photoluminescence (PL) quenching at nanotube ends and defects. The extension of reduced PL reflects the exciton diffusion length of about 100 nm, which can be directly visualized with our technique. Additionally, we model the complete imaging process, including exciton diffusion and tip-induced rate enh...
متن کاملAn overview of scanning near-field optical microscopy in characterization of nano-materials
Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) is a member of scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) family which enables nanostructure investigation of the surfaces on a wide range of materials. In fact, SNOM combines the SPM technology to the optical microscopy and in this way provide a powerful tool to study nano-structures with very high spatial resolution. In this paper, a qualified overview of ...
