Abstract
We have measured the visible light emission spectra from the surfaces of single crystal Si by injecting electrons and holes from the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The spectra and intensities change depending on the STM tip material, the bias voltage polarity, the carrier type and concentration of the sample, as well as the crystal orientation of the sample surface. Possible emission mechanisms for the observed spectra are discussed.
