Abstract

Scanning-tunneling-microscope (STM)-induced light emission from nanoscale structures on a hydrogen-terminated Si(001) surface was mapped spatially and analyzed spectroscopically in the visible spectral range. The light intensity map has high spatial resolution comparable to that of STM topographic images. Light is created by the dipole transition between localized surface states. The experimental results support the mechanism including light creation by the dipole transition.
