We assume a simple model made of two non-interacting strips attached to an interacting nanosystem. In one of the strips, the electrostatic potential can be locally varied by a charged tip. This change induces corrections upon the nanosystem Hartree-Fock self-energies which enhance the fringes spaced by half the Fermi wavelength in the images giving the quantum conductance as a function of the tip position.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-10-07T18:19:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.23.-b", "07.79.-v", "71.10.-w", "72.10.-d" ], "keywords": [ "scanning gate microscopy", "electrons interact", "nanostructure", "probing electron-electron interactions inside", "nanosystem hartree-fock self-energies" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Jun", "volume": 100, "number": 22, "pages": 226802 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.100v6802F" } } }
