Abstract
A new technique allows direct control and measurement of ballistic-hole transport through interfaces. This novel spectroscopy has been applied to determine the detailed properties of hole transmission through metal-semiconductor interfaces and probe the valence-band structure of subsurface semiconductor heterostructures. The ballistic-hole probe is created by electron-tunneling-microscopy methods and provides high-spatial-resolution capabilities.
