Nanoscale Spectroscopy and Its Applications to Semiconductor Research

Fabrication technologies for nanostructured devices have be- en developed recently, and the electrical and optical properties of such nanostructures are a subject of advanced research. This book describes the different approaches to spectrosco- pic microscopy, i.e., Electron Beam Probe Spectroscopy, Spectroscopic Photoelectron Microscopy, and Scanning Probe Spectroscopy. It will be useful as a compact source of reference for the experienced reseracher, taking into account at the same time the needs of postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers by using a tutorial approach throughout.
