Abstract
Light emission at the Au/Au junction of a scanning tunneling microscope has
been detected in air, and the property of control of the emission yield ha
s also been evidenced. The experimental results presented in this paper sho
w this reversible property to be closely linked to minute surface modificat
ions involving the real surface of the sample. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.
