Abstract
One of the advantages afforded by using near field optical techniques is the ability to obtain topographic and spectroscopic information simultaneously. For many samples — in particular for semiconductors — a detectable spectroscopic signal can only be obtained for specimens refrigerated to cryogenic temperatures. In order to spectro-scopically study such materials a cryogenic photon scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM) has been developed. The design for this cryogenic compatible microscope is presented. Low temperature images and low temperature photoluminescence spectra are shown.
