We present conductance measurements of a ballistic circular stadium influenced by a scanning gate. When the tip depletes the electron gas below, we observe very pronounced and regular fringes covering the entire stadium. The fringes correspond to transmitted modes in constrictions formed between the tip-induced potential and the boundaries of the stadium. Moving the tip and counting the fringes gives us exquisite control over the transmission of these constrictions. We use this control to form a quantum ring with a specific number of modes in each arm showing the Aharonov-Bohm effect in low-field magnetoconductance measurements.

We present a detailed experimental study on the electrostatic interaction between a quantum dot and the metallic tip of a scanning force microscope. Our method allowed us to quantitatively map the tip-induced potential and to determine the spatial de
pendence of the tips lever arm with high resolution. We find that two parts of the tip-induced potential can be distinguished, one that depends on the voltage applied to the tip and one that is independent of this voltage. The first part is due to the metallic tip while we interpret the second part as the effect of a charged dielectric particle on the tip. In the measurements of the lever arm we find fine structure that depends on which quantum state we study. The results are discussed in view of scanning gate experiments where the tip is used as a movable gate to study nanostructures.
An open resonator fabricated in a two-dimensional electron gas is used to explore the transition from strongly invasive scanning gate microscopy to the perturbative regime of weak tip-induced potentials. With the help of numerical simulations that fa
ithfully reproduce the main experimental findings, we quantify the extent of the perturbative regime in which the tip-induced conductance change is unambiguously determined by properties of the unperturbed system. The correspondence between the experimental and numerical results is established by analyzing the characteristic length scale and the amplitude modulation of the conductance change. In the perturbative regime, the former is shown to assume a disorder-dependent maximum value, while the latter linearly increases with the strength of a weak tip potential.
We introduce a new scanning probe technique derived from scanning gate microscopy (SGM) in order to investigate thermoelectric transport in two-dimensional semiconductor devices. The thermoelectric scanning gate Microscopy (TSGM) consists in measurin
g the thermoelectric voltage induced by a temperature difference across a device, while scanning a polarized tip that locally changes the potential landscape. We apply this technique to perform interferometry of the thermoelectric transport in a quantum point contact (QPC). We observe an interference pattern both in SGM and TSGM images, and evidence large differences between the two signals in the low density regime of the QPC. In particular, a large phase jump appears in the interference fringes recorded by TSGM, which is not visible in SGM. We discuss this difference of sensitivity using a microscopic model of the experiment, based on the contribution from a resonant level inside or close to the QPC. This work demonstrates that combining scanning gate microscopy with thermoelectric measurements offers new information as compared to SGM, and provides a direct access to the derivative of the device transmission with respect to energy, both in amplitude and in phase.
We use low-temperature scanning gate microscopy (SGM) to investigate the breakdown of the quantum Hall regime in an exfoliated bilayer graphene flake. SGM images captured during breakdown exhibit intricate patterns of hotspots where the conductance i

We perform scanning gate microscopy on individual suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots. The size and position of the quantum dots can be visually identified from the concentric high conductance rings. For the ultra clean devices used in this study,
two new effects are clearly identified. Electrostatic screening creates non-overlapping multiple sets of Coulomb rings from a single quantum dot. In double quantum dots, by changing the tip voltage, the interactions between the quantum dots can be tuned from the weak to strong coupling regime.
