Demonstration of the sensitivity of s-SNOM to the presence of the 2DES at room temperature. a, b Sample description and images of the AFM height, near-field amplitude and near-field phase for the two samples with different thickness of LAO (2 and 8 u.c. respectively). The conducting 2DES is present only in (b), as the LAO thickness exceeds 4 u.c. c Line profiles along the dashed lines in (a) and (b). The near-field signal s3exp(iϕ3) at the third harmonic is normalized to the signal s3,refexp(iϕ3,ref) in the reference region with an additional layer of a-STO. The laser wavelength is 10.7 μm. The scale bars are 1 μm
