We will employ two experimental strategies to analyze charge carrier dynamics and luminescence with atomic scale lateral resolution by pump-probe spectroscopy. For timescales down to 1 ns, all electronic pump-probe measurements with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) [1] are performed. Here, our first results show, that the luminescence that stems from inelastic tunneling processes can be used to quantitative map fast voltage pulses in the tunnel junctions [2]. This is achieved by performing time correlated counting of the emitted photons during the voltage pulse.
In parallel, we develop and build an experiment in which THz radiation is coupled into the tunneling junction of a new build STM to allow for pump-probe experiments in the ps range [3]. The concept of the experimental setup will be presented.
