  Untitled Document Chemical composition of metals, alloys, semiconductors, and deposited films on surfaces in ultra-high vacuum (UHV):
  • Growth mode of deposited films
  • Crystalline structure of surfaces (LEED)
  • Crystalline structure of first few atomic layers (DAES, DEPES [1])
Experimental methods:
  • Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES)
  • Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED)
  • Directional Auger Electron Spectroscopy (DAES) [2,3]
  • Directional Elastic Peak Electron Spectroscopy (DEPES) [3]
  • Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
  • Characteristic Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (Characteristic EELS)
  • Mass spectrometry (MS)
  • Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)
Theoretical approximations:
  • Multiple Scattering (MS) approximation for the primary electron plane wave [4]
  • Tensor LEED
  • DFT calculations (ABINIT)
