Figure 12 Tunneling spectra measured for InAs nanocrystals with ligands (uppercurve) and after pyridine treatment (partly removing TOP ligands). Subgap peaks,marked <strong>by</strong> the circles, appear close to the CB edge, associated with surface states.QDs and the relative intensity of the peaks increased with the surface-tovolumeratio, as shown <strong>by</strong> Alperson et al. [85].IV.JUNCTION SYMMETRY EFFECTS ON THE TUNNELINGSPECTRAA detailed understanding of the role played <strong>by</strong> the DBTJ geometry and theability to control it are essential for the correct interpretation of tunnelingcharacteristics of semiconductor QDs, as well as for their implementation inelectronic nanoarchitectures.The tunneling data presented in Section III were acquired on InAsnanocrystals linked to gold <strong>by</strong> hexane–dithiol molecules realizing a capacitivelyhighly asymmetric DBTJ (C 2 /C 1f 10).
