Controlling the screening process of a nanoscaled space charge region by minority carriers

Understanding the dynamics of bound and free charges and local electric fields on a nanometre scale are important in scanning tunnelling microscopy and nanoscale electronics. Here, the authors present a model system—a metallic tip near a gallium arsenide surface—for studying such electrostatic inter...
