Abstract:In this thesis, the successful implementation of optical excitation for time-resolved Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is presented. The fruitful combination of these two experimental methods allows investigating photo-induced dynamic processes on the nanosecond time scale with atomic resolution. The optical setup provides a great versatility regarding the adjustment of excitation parameters such as optical pulse height, pulse width or pulse repetition rate to the experimental needs. Moreover, for the first… Show more
