| Research Abstract |
The local ultraviolet (UV) photoemission has been observed by using STM for the local characterization of the metal films. The change in the photoelectron current along and normal to the sample surface has been measured as well as the bias dependence of photoelectron current. The local photoelectron current is detected by STM tip which is coated with insulator except for the area of tip apex. The photoelectrons are excited by UV light of Ar ion (11.8 eV). The measurements are made for Co and Ni metal films. The measurement of photoelectron emission has been made for the Co and Ni films during irradiation of UV light. The images during UV irradiation are dependent on the feedback current which includes tunneling current and photoelectron current. The observed photoelectron image shows the occurrence of local photoemission within the region of 20 nm along the surface and 15 nm along the normal to the surface. We have also measured the current as functions of the tip-sample distance and STM bias voltage. The current changes approximately as the squared power laws with the tip-sample distance, indicating that the change in the photoelectron current at tip can be explained in terms of the change in the detection solid angle of detection area at STM tip with lithe change in the tip-sample distance. This fact suggests that the photoelectron current is not uniformly distributed, but photoelectrons emit radially from the area near the tip-sample junction.
