  • Quantum dot microscope apparatus comprising a nanoscale semiconductor on the tip of a fiber, a tunneling electrical lead and a capacitive electrical lead on the fiber
    Patent number: 11693024
    Abstract: A quantum dot microscope apparatus is provided. A further aspect employs a tilted or tapered end or tip on a microscopic probe. Another aspect of the present apparatus employs a probe including a quantum dot with only one tunneling lead connected to a power source. A manufacturing aspect includes creating a tapered or asymmetrically shaped specimen-facing end of a probe where a quantum dot is located on the end. A further manufacturing aspect includes using focused ion-beam milling to create a tip or end of a quantum dot microscope probe.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 5, 2021
    Date of Patent: July 4, 2023
    Assignees: Board of Trustees of Michigan State University, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Stuart Holden Tessmer, Eric William Goodwin, Oleksandr Levchenko
