A new low temperature near-field optical scanning microscope — •Julia Janik1, Claudio Dal Savio2, and Achim Hartschuh1 — 1Department Chemie and CeNS, LMU München, 81377 München, Germany — 2attocube systems AG, 80539 München, Germany
The characterisation of nanostructures with high spatial resolution and detection sensitivity can be achieved by tip-enhanced near-field optical microscopy (TENOM) [1]. Up to now nearly all TENOM measurements were performed at room temperature. Low temperature measurements on the other hand would reveal even more detailed information about material properties, for example due to reduced spectral broadening. We describe a new scheme for implementing TENOM at low temperatures. For initial experiments and testing well known quasi 1D semiconducting model systems such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanowires were used [2]. Here we describe our efforts and first results on our way towards low temperature near-field optical microscopy.
