Abstract
A brief review of ballistic electron emission microscopy and spectrosc opy applications is presented. Results of our ballistic electron emiss ion spectroscopy measurements on cleaved n-GaAs are given. The thresho ld in ballistic current-voltage characteristic is observed at bias 1.9 3 V which is high above the expected threshold. Explanation of this ef fect is given in the frame of present theoretical results.
