Scanning tunneling potentiometry of resistivity dipoles in thin Bismuth films — •Felix Lüpke, Stefan Korte, Vasily Cherepanov, and Bert Voigtländer — Peter Grünberg Institut (PGI-3), Forschungszentrum Jülich, 52425 Jülich, Germany, and JARA-Fundamentals of Future Information Technology

We present scanning tunneling potentiometry measurements of thin Bismuth films using a multi-tip scanning tunneling microscope. Defects in the Bismuth films prepared on Si(111) result in localized electric dipoles when a lateral current is injected into the film. We map the potential landscape around such defects and analyze them with respect to classical diffusive transport effects and the Landauer dipole.
