Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005185

A scanning probe microscopy technique, Scanning Gate Microscopy (SGM), that images the flow of electrons in a semiconductor or nanostructure. A sharp, biased probe tip is scanned across the sample's surface, acting as a movable electrostatic gate that locally perturbs the electron transport. The resulting change in conductance is recorded at each point to form a two-dimensional map of electron behavior.
