Field Emission Resonances on Junctions between Si(111)7x7 and Si(111)5x2-Au — •Stefan Polei, Ingo Barke, Kristian Sell, Viola v. Oeynhausen, and Karl-Heinz Meiwes-Broer — Institut für Physik, Universität Rostock, Universitätsplatz 3, D-18051 Rostock

The image state derived field emission resonances (FER) are investigated on a Si(111)7x7 substrat which is partially covered by the quasi one-dimensional Si(111)5x2-Au structure. These states can be observed by dI/dV measurements of the unoccupied energy range if the STM is operated in a field emission mode. A shift of the FER peak positions on Si(111)7x7 patches vs. Si(111)5x2-Au patches is found which happens on a scale of one nanometer. The origin of that shift is attributed to work function differences [1] caused by the different Fermi level pinning. The results are discussed in view of local work function changes determined by I(Z) spectroscopy across a (7x7)-(5x2-Au) junction.
