Abstract

Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Applied Science & Technology
Insulating diamond films were imaged by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) utilizing photoinduced bulk carrier transport to establish tunneling currents. General comparisons of topographic STM images and atomic force microscopy images acquired on the same sample demonstrate that submicrometer structures obtained in the images can be correlated. This observation establishes that the topography of an insulating surface such as diamond can be imaged under illumination by STM. The results suggest that local electronic structure of illuminated insulating surfaces can be probed using scanning tunneling spectroscopy.
