Abstract

A photon emission experiment has been done by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy in air. The emitted photons from a gold surface are collected in order to print side by side the STM topography and the corresponding photoemission mapping. Significant correlations can be observed between both images. The emission spectra are also collected while scanning the surface, thus yielding simultaneously a third piece of information. The results are markedly different from those obtained in ultra high vacuum.
