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 faithfully 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 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 tra
nsmitted 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.
We study the relationship between the local density of states (LDOS) and the conductance variation $Delta G$ in scanning-gate-microscopy experiments on mesoscopic structures as a charged tip scans above the sample surface. We present an analytical mo
del showing that in the linear-response regime the conductance shift $Delta G$ is proportional to the Hilbert transform of the LDOS and hence a generalized Kramers-Kronig relation holds between LDOS and $Delta G$. We analyze the physical conditions for the validity of this relationship both for one-dimensional and two-dimensional systems when several channels contribute to the transport. We focus on realistic Aharonov-Bohm rings including a random distribution of impurities and analyze the LDOS-$Delta G$ correspondence by means of exact numerical simulations, when localized states or semi-classical orbits characterize the wavefunction of the system.
Recent advances in bottom-up growth are giving rise to a range of new two-dimensional nanostructures. Hall effect measurements play an important role in their electrical characterization. However, size constraints can lead to device geometries that d
eviate significantly from the ideal of elongated Hall bars with currentless contacts. Many devices using these new materials have a low aspect ratio and feature metal Hall probes that overlap with the semiconductor channel. This can lead to a significant distortion of the current flow. We present experimental data from InAs 2D nanofin devices with different Hall probe geometries to study the influence of Hall probe length and width. We use finite-element simulations to further understand the implications of these aspects and expand the scope to contact resistance and sample aspect ratios. Our key finding is that invasive probes lead to a significant underestimation in the measured Hall voltage, typically of the order of 40-80%. This in turn leads to a subsequent proportional overestimation of carrier concentration and an underestimation of mobility
This paper presents an overview of scanning-gate microscopy applied to the imaging of electron transport through buried semiconductor nanostructures. After a brief description of the technique and of its possible artifacts, we give a summary of some
of its most instructive achievements found in the literature and we present an updated review of our own research. It focuses on the imaging of GaInAs-based quantum rings both in the low magnetic field Aharonov-Bohm regime and in the high-field quantum Hall regime. In all of the given examples, we emphasize how a local-probe approach is able to shed new, or complementary, light on transport phenomena which are usually studied by means of macroscopic conductance measurements.
