Abstract
In this talk, I describe work being carried out at UMIST and Daresbury Laboratory which is providing new experimental tools for measuring nano-scale structures. Synchrotron radiation, L edge absorption experiments, have demonstrated that local chemistry and electronic behaviour can be linked on the nano-structured silicon. Recent work has also shown that electron transport through nano-structured films is controlled by percolation phenomena, similar to transport in polymer films. The possibility of combining STM with photon probes is reviewed and examples of highly localised optical spectroscopy detected using STM are given.
