• LOW ENERGY ELECTRON DIFFRACTION

    What can we get From LEED? LEED is the principal technique for the determination of surface structures. It may be used in one of two ways: 1.Qualitatively: where the diffraction pattern is recorded and analysis of the spot positions yields infor on the size, symmetry and rotational alignment of the adsorbate until cell with respect…

  • Scanning Tunneling Microscopy/Spectroscopy

    Basic Principles The history Types of STM measurements Problems and Solutions P1: Draw an energy-position diagram for a metal surface interfacing the vacuum. Draw in the work function. How is dependent on Eo and EBarr? P2: How big is the factor of change in the tunneling current if you scan over an atom on the…
