الوصف: Differential conductance spectroscopy performed in the high bias regime - in which the applied voltage exceeds the sample work function - is a suboptimal measure of the local density of states due to the effects of the changing tunnel barrier. Additionally, the large applied voltage oftentimes makes constant-height measurement experimentally impractical, lending constant-current spectroscopy an advantageous edge; but the differential conductance in that case is even further removed from the local density of states due to the changing tip height. Here, we present a normalization scheme for extracting the local density of states from high bias scanning tunneling spectroscopy, obtained in either constant-current or constant-height mode. We extend this model to account for the effects of the in-plane momentum of the probed states to the overall current. We demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme by applying it to laterally confined field-emission resonances, which appear as peak-shaped spectroscopic features with a well-defined in-plane momentum.
