Figure 20 Wave-function imaging and calculation for an InAs/ZnSe core–shellQD having a 6 ML shell. (a) A tunneling spectrum acquired for the nanocrystal. (b)An 8 8-nm 2 topographic image taken at V B = 2.1 V and I d = 0.1 nA. (c–e)Current images obtained simultaneously with the topographic scan at three differentbias values denoted <strong>by</strong> arrows in (a). ( f 1 ) Cross sections taken along the diagonal ofthe current images at 0.9 V (lower curve), 1.4 V (middle curve), and 1.9 V (uppercurve). (f 2 ) The same cross sections normalized to their maximum current values. (g–j) Envelope wave functions calculated within a ‘‘particle in a sphere’’ model. Theradial potential and the energies of the s and p states are illustrated in the inset offrame (a). (g–i) Isoprobability surfaces, showing s 2 (g), p 2 x þ p2 y , and p2 z (i). ( j) Thesquare of the radial parts of the s and p wave functions normalized to their maximumvalues. For the core–shell potential offset, we used the bulk InAs–ZnSe value, 1.26eV. The shell–matrix potential offset was taken as 8 eV. Bulk InAs and ZnSe electroneffective masses were used.procedure, the topographic and current images are all measured with the sameconstant local tip–QD separation. Thus, the main factor determining eachcurrent image is the local (bias-dependent) density of states, reflecting theshape of the QD electronic wave functions.Upon comparing the current images, pronounced differences are observedin the extent and shape of the s and p wave functions.
