abstract = {A quantitative description of photoexcited scanning
tunneling spectra is developed and applied to photoexcited
spectra measured on p-doped nonpolar GaAs(110) surfaces.
Under illumination, the experimental spectra exhibit an
increase of the tunnel current at negative sample voltages
only. In order to analyze the experimental data
quantitatively, the potential and charge-carrier
distributions of the photoexcited tip-vacuum-semiconductor
system are calculated by solving the Poisson as well as the
hole and electron continuity equations by a
finite-difference algorithm. On this basis, the different
contributions to the tunnel current are calculated using an
extension of the model of Feenstra and Stroscio to include
the light-excited carrier concentrations. The best fit of
the calculated tunnel currents to the experimental data is
obtained for a tip-induced band bending, which is limited by
the partial occupation of the C3 surface state by
light-excited electrons. The tunnel current at negative
voltages is then composed of a valence band contribution and
a photoinduced tunnel current of excited electrons in the
conduction band. The quantitative description of the tunnel
current developed here is generally applicable and provides
a solid foundation for the quantitative interpretation of
photoexcited scanning tunneling spectroscopy.},
