Low-energy electron diffraction effects at complex interfaces
Low-energy electron scattering was used as a tool to study electron-stimulated processes at complex interfaces. The electron diffraction in each complex interface is theoretically treated by a multiple scattering formalism for quantitative analysis. Mathematical descriptions of electron-stimulated …

A study of the growth and structure of chromium and iron oxide films on Pd(001) using X-ray photoelectron diffraction and low energy electron diffraction
"In this study, attempts were made to grow well-ordered chromium- and iron-oxide films on a Pd(001) surface, and two sample preparation techniques, the multilayer and the sequential growth techniques, were used to grow these transition metal oxide films. The study is a part of a larger project that …
