Figure 7. STM topographic images of undoped and Bi-doped SnSe.

Figure 7

(a) STM topographic image on the bc plane of undoped SnSe (p-type). The dotted ellipse indicates Sn vacancies. (b) High resolution STM image taken from one of the Sn vacancies which is marked with a box in a. (c) STM topographic image on the b–c plane of Bi-doped SnSe (n-type). The carrier concentration for undoped and Bi-doped SnSe is 5.2 × 1018 cm−3 at 773 K and—8.7 × 1018 cm−3 at 773 K, respectively. STM scanning condition: (a,b) sample bias (Vb)=−1.5 V, tunneling current (It)=30 pA, (c) Vb=−2.0 V, It=18 pA. The height scale (Δz) is given by the colour bar on the right of the STM images.
