Nanoscale Spectroscopy and Its Applications to Semiconductor Research

by Y. Watanabe (Editor), S. Heun (Editor), G. Salviati (Editor), N. Yamamoto (Editor)

Overview

Fabrication technologies for nanostructured devices have been developed recently, and the electrical and optical properties of such nanostructures are a subject of advanced research.

This book describes the different approaches to spectroscopic microscopy, i.e., Electron Beam Probe Spectroscopy, Spectroscopic Photoelectron Microscopy, and Scanning Probe Spectroscopy. It will be useful as a compact source of reference for the experienced reseracher, taking into account at the same time the needs of postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers by using a tutorial approach throughout.
