Abstract

Using a method complementary to ballistic electron emission luminescence (BEEL), we demonstrate tunnel-junction injection of sub-band-gap hot holes into the valence band of a semiconductor heterostructure to generate band-gap luminescence. This mechanism can be used in a scanning-probe geometry for the development of a simultaneous hole transport and luminescence microscopy of p-type Schottky devices.
