摘要
This paper reviews the recent progress made in directly imaging and characterizing nanoscale fluctuations in the distribution of dopant atoms in semiconductors by cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. In particular the connection between the local fluctuations in the dopant distribution and the electronic properties is emphasized.
