At different separations between AFM tip and sample, a dc-voltage is applied between the tip and the electron gas while simultaneously recording the frequency shift of the oscillating tip. Using a plate capacitor model the local electron density can be extracted from the data. The result coincides within 10% with the data obtained from transport measurements.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-08-05T15:51:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.63.-b" ], "keywords": [ "kelvin probe spectroscopy", "local electron density", "plate capacitor model", "two-dimensional electron gas", "scanning force microscope" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2003, "month": "Sep", "volume": 83, "number": 13, "pages": 2602 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003ApPhL..83.2602V" } } }
