Light emission from noble metal surfaces excited by a scanning tunneling microscope has been interpreted as arising from in elastic tunneling excitation of tip-induced plasmon modes. We have extended this work to study the adsorption of oxygen on Ti and have observed the formation of structures with subnanometer lateral dimensions which give rise to clear contrasts in STM topographs and photon intensity maps. The experimental results strongly indicate that these contrasts are due to oxygen-induced variations of the local density of states.

We found that quantization of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) current becomes apparent as the size of a quantum corral (QC) decreases and the corral thickness increases. It is shown that STM current images provide the position dependence of the conduction channels and local density of states (LDOS) images provide the spatial distribution of differential conductance channels. We clarified for the first time that there exist fractal structures in the QC size dependence of the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] characteristic and in that of the LDOS. LDOS images also exhibit a fractal structure as a function of bias voltage. These results demonstrate fractal structures in energy space and real space. For an extremely large QC, we found that the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] curve becomes Ohmic and the LDOS converges to a constant corresponding to the bulk two-dimensional density of states.
