abstract = {Photoexcited scanning tunneling spectroscopy is a promising
technique for the determination of carrier concentrations,
surface photovoltages, and potentials of semiconductors with
atomic spatial resolution. However, extraction of the
desired quantities requires computation of the electrostatic
potential induced by the proximity of the tip and the tunnel
current. This calculation is based on an accurate solution
of the Poisson as well as the continuity equations for the
tip-vacuum-semiconductor system. For this purpose, the
carrier current densities are modeled by classical drift and
diffusion equations. However, for small tip radii and highly
doped materials, the drift and diffusion transport model
significantly overestimates a semiconductor's carrier
concentration near the surface, making the quantification of
physical properties impossible. In this paper, we apply
quantum correction to the drift and diffusion model, in
order to account for the so-called quantum compressibility,
i.e., reduced compressibility of the carrier gas due to the
Pauli principle, in the region of the tip-induced band
bending. We compare carrier concentrations, potentials, and
tunnel currents derived with and without quantum correction
for GaN(101¯0) and GaAs(110) surfaces to demonstrate its
necessity.},
