  4. Electron spectroscopy • Probing of electronic structure of the surface through analysis of energy of secondary electrons emitted from sample. • Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) • Determines: surface composition • Uses: irradiation via electrons • Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS) • Determines: surface composition and electronic structure • Uses: irradiation via photons

  7. Electron energy analyzers • 4-grid LEED optics: retarding field analyzer • electrons with E0<eV0 are repelled • applying a sine wave to the potential ramp with LIA detection enhances sensitivity

  8. Electron energy analyzers • Cylindrical mirror analyzer (CMA): deflection analyzer • electrons in narrow energy window are detected • applying a sine wave to the potential ramp with LIA detection enhances sensitivity

  9. Electron energy analyzers • Concentric hemispherical analyzer (CHA): deflection analyzer • electrons in narrow energy window are detected

  10. Lise Meitner 1878-1968 Pierre Auger 1899-1993 Auger electron spectroscopy Uses an electron beam to create an initial state of a hole in a (surface) atom. Through the Auger process, a second hole is created and a second electron emitted with a specific Ekin. Surface composition can be determined as every atom has unique atomic energy levels.

  14. Photoelectron spectroscopy • Based on photoelectric effect: electron with binding energy Eiabsorbs photon with energy ħω, and leaves solid with kinetic energy: Ekin=ħω - Ei – φ • where φ = Evacuum-EFermiis the work function of the material. • Conditions to detect escaping electron: • ħω > Ei + φ • Electron velocity is directed towards outer surface • Electron does not loose energy due to collisions with other electrons on its way to the surface
