摘要
Ballistic-electron emission microscopy (BEEM) has been performed on Au/n-Si(111)7 x 7 and Au/CaF2/n-Si(111)7 x 7 in UHV. In both cases, the topography of the Au surface is characterized by almost-equal-to 2.5 angstrom height terraces, stacked in several stages, with rounded shapes for Au/Si, and hexagonal shapes for Au/CaF2/Si. BEEM up to tip voltages of 8 V on Au/Si is not altering the ballistic transmissivity, in contrast to previous work on Au/Si interfaces which involved chemical preparations of the Si surfaces. The shape of the BEEM spectra on Au/CaF2/Si depends on spectral features of the density of states of the CaF2 thin film.
