Abstract

Variations of the spectra of plasmonic light emitted from the junction of a scanning tunneling microscope have been observed for different lateral positions of the scanning tunneling microscope tip on a Au(111) surface. Subnanometer spatial variations of the light emission intensity over a triangular island and in the vicinity of surface step edges have been recorded at different photon energies. They reveal surface standing wave patterns characteristic for two-dimensional confined electrons.
