ABSTRACTThis paper described observation of cathodoluminescence (CL) of microcrystalline InGaN bulk crystals under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with a high-spatial-resolution (HR) CL measuring apparatus. HR-CL spectra from facets of InGaN crystals vary from facet to facet and are single peaked. Histogram analysis of the CL peak positions of HR spectra from the facets of the crystals in the area scanned during a low-resolution CL measurement shows a two-peaked form with comparable peak wavelengths. The diffusion length of a generated electron- ho le pair or an exciton from the recombination centers with a higher-energy-level state to that with a lower state is estimated to be 500 nm at the longest by the comparison of two monochromatic HR-CL images of adjoining facets.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy is an attractive technique for characterizing the surface potential of various samples. The main advantage of this technique is its high spatial resolution together with high sensitivity. However as in any nanoscale measurements also in case of KFM it is extremly difficult to describe the uncertainty of the measurement. Moreover, a wide variety of measuring conditions, together with the complicated operation principle cause situation, where no standard calibration methods are available. In the paper we propose the model of the KFM microscope and analyze the uncertainty of the KFM measurement.
