Abstract:

Interpretation of the images from a point source electron microscope requires a detailed analysis of transmission low energy electron diffraction. Here we present a general approach for solutions to the mixed Bragg-Laue case in transmission LEED (100-1000eV), based on the dynamical diffraction theory of Bethe. However, the validity of the dynamical diffraction theory to low energy electrons can be justified by its connection to the band theory for low energy crystal electrons.Assume that the incident beam forms a plane wave and the crystal is a thin slab. According to Bethe, the total electron

Abstract:

Nitride films play an increasing role in modern electronics, for example silicon nitride as insulating layer in Si-based devices or GaN in blue light emitting diodes and lasers. For this reason they have been the subject of many ex situ electron microscopic studies. A much deeper understanding of the growth of these important materials can be obtained by in situ studies. Although these could be done by SEM, LEEM combined with LEED is much better suited because of its excellent surface sensitivity and diffraction contrast. We have in the past studied the high temperture nitridation of Si(l11) b

Abstract:

The multiple scattering theory of LEED is briefly reviewed, and recent developments concerning the analysis of thermal vibrations with LEED and the analysis of lattice modulations in incommensurate layers are discussed. Usually only isotropic thermal vibrations have been considered in LEED structure analyses. This restriction can be overcome by an extension of the theory to anisotropic and anharmonic vibrations, allowing not only a higher precision in the determination of structure parameters but also the study of dynamical processes with LEED. In the case of incommensurate layers the satellit

Abstract:

Electron diffraction techniques are widely used in Surface Science, with the main aim of determining atomic positions in surface reconstructions and the location of adsorbed atoms. These techniques require an Ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environment. The use of a focussed beam in UHV electron microscopes in principle allows such techniques to be applied on a microscopic scale. Most obviously this has been achieved in the Low Energy Electron Microscope (LEEM), where the corresponding diffraction technique, LEED, can now be used to investigate local areas with different surface structures, and to fol

Abstract:

The value of the low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) technique for the evaluation of surface ordering depends on the ability to measure the intensity profiles of diffraction beams with respect to the associated surface component of the electron momentum transfer. Beam profiles, if measured with sufficient accuracy, may be interpreted to characterise the extent of surface order (e.g. distribution of step spacings) and to differentiate between different modes of disordering (e.g. surface melting versus roughening). The ability to measure LEED intensity profiles has been enhanced by use of low

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well as reflection electron microscopy (REM) were applied to the study of growth and islanding.

Low energy electron diffraction experiments have superb sensitivity to surface structure, but rely on sophisticated theory for their interpretation. Advances in computer power, and developments in the theory itself, enable us to handle surface structures of moderate complexity.

Abstract:

Several methods have been tried to prepare clean surfaces of 4H–SiC(0001)Si and C, whose surface atomic, or electronic, structures have been studied by LEED (low energy electron diffraction) STM (scanning tunneling microscopy) and AES (Auger electron spectroscopy). Some sequential chemical treatments, for example, agitation in an organic solvent and dipping in HF solution, followed by the heating of a SiC wafer in UHV (ultrahigh vacuum, below 10-7 Pa) at 950°C, gave either a [Formula: see text] or 3×3 superstructure, observed by LEED (low energy electron diffraction), for the SiC(0001) Si or C

Abstract:

The structure of ultrathin films of Ni deposited at room temperature on the Pt (111) surface has been determined by low energy electron diffraction (LEED) intensity analysis. The first monolayer of Ni grows pseudomorphically on Pt (111) despite the 11% mismatch between the lattice parameters of nickel and platinum. The results of the analysis also show that the Ni atoms occupy face-centered-cubic sites on the substrate surface. These results in part confirm previous data obtained by X-ray photoelectron diffraction, but also provide more reliable data on the site assignment.

Abstract:

Low energy electron diffraction (LEED), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) were used to study the reactive diffusion of one monolayer of silicon deposited at room temperature onto a Ni (111) substrate. We have done isochronal and isothermal kinetics by AES, and we observed in both cases a kinetics blockage on a plateau corresponding to around one third of a silicon monolayer. STM images and LEED patterns both recorded at room temperature just after annealing, reveal formation of an ordered hexagonal superstructure corresponding probably to a two-dimensio

In this study, we investigated the role of oxygen in the faceting of the W(111) surface at temperatures close to T = 2000°C. For that purpose, we characterized the W(111) surface before and after the annealing step by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). It is found that W(111) undergoes a massive reconstruction to form three sided pyramids of nanometer dimensions with mainly {211} planes as facet sides. Interestingly, the facetted W(111) surface is deprived from

Abstract:

The morphology of a surface determines to a large extent its physical and chemical properties. In order to understand these properties it is frequently sufficient to image the surface with a resolution in the 10 nm range, provided that the relevant surface features show sufficient contrast, as is the case in LEEM. The talk discusses the morphology information which can be obtained with LEEM and illustrates it with various examples.Point defects, e.g. emergence points of screw dislocations, or point-like defects such as small impurity clusters cannot be resolved in LEEM but nevertheless imaged

The surface segregation, structure, and valence band density of states of Pt 3 Ni (100), (110), and (111) single crystals are characterized with low energy ion scattering (LEIS), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). The results of LEIS clearly reveal the complete surface segregation of Pt to the top layer on all crystal alloys. LEED indicates the (5 × 1) surface reconstruction on the Pt 3 Ni (100), while (110) and (111) surfaces show (2 × 1) and (1 × 1) patterns, respectively, identical to Pt single crystals.

Topological insulators are a quite recent discovered quantum mechanics characteristic of materials where essentially the surface band structure is completely different from the bulk. Bismuth Telluride, for example has its semi-metallic behavior changed into a conducting one. However it has been well known, as an excellent thermoelectric material [3]; with relatively high thermoelectric coefficients at room temperature. Bismuth Telluride is a relatively easy material to obtain and different

Abstract:

Determination of the atomic structure of stepped surfaces by quantitative low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) analysis is very difficult when the spacings between layers parallel to the surface become significantly smaller than about 0.9 Å. For most of the computer programs widely used in LEED crystallography the problem is caused by numerical instabilities and lack of convergence. However, the CHANGE computer program has had remarkable success on surfaces with interlayer spacings as small as 0.5 Å. Advantages and disadvantages of this program are briefly discussed.

The Ga–Si vertical spacing is 1.44 Å and the bond length between the Ga atom and the first-layer Si atom is 2.52 Å. Large bucklings are found in the first and sec
