  1. Methods andTehniquesin Surface Science Prof. Dumitru LUCA “Alexandru Ion Cuza” University, Iasi, Romania

  2. Introduction. Relation between surface/interface science and other fields of knowledge • What is the surface? • How can the surface be probed? • What kind of probing particles should be used? • What kind of emergent particles can be detected? • electrons, ions, low-energy neutrals: • 1-10 ML • Scattered, absorbed, emitted particles – the essential source of information.

  3. Photon excitation • HIGH penetration depth, • but… • LOW probing depth when using non-photon emerging particles: • Photon sources: • Incandescent lamp • Glow discharge lamp • Lasers • X-ray sources • Sincrotron radiation The spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation of interest in surface science

  4. Interaction of surface/interface science with physics and engineering Condensed matter physics

  5. Countries where surface physics is performed(source 1993, : Briggs, Seah, see References) • Journals • 1 billion USD invested in1997 • 2500 set-ups

  6. Relation between surface physics and various industries (UK, 1997) (source 1993, : Briggs, Seah, see References)

  7. Surface techniques and information that they provide

  8. Research strategies in surface science • What is expected from surface physics? • Making clear the mechanisms (at molecular/atomic levele) involved in a certain behavior of the surface…. • ….HOWEVER…. • The surface theory is by far much simpler to develop for idealized surfaces (single crystals, clean surfaces or surfaces covered by adsorbants, in a controllable manner) • Nowadays, we are able to develop theoretical models for “tehnical” surfaces at a satisfacory level. • …BUT… • The verifying the results predicted by the models is frequently not necessarily straightforward: • most of the surface techniques require using the UHV, while the real applications work at atmospheric pressure, and sometimes at high temperatures.

  9. Real materials/surfaces Real conditions (p =1 atm, high-temp.) Single cristal UHV Research strategies in Surface Physics • A complementary approach - measurements: (a) in real time in situ (XRD, Moessbauer, infrared, EXAFS) (b) after “quenching” the investigated state. Completing the above-mentioned information via: (i) modelling on single-crystals (ii) using UHV techniques
