Photoemission and photoelectron diffraction studies of semiconductor surfaces

Abstract

dc:description

Several experimental surface science techniques, such as photoelectron diffraction (PED), photoemission extended fine structure (PEFS), and photoelectron holography (PEH), rely upon the measurement of the interference due to the photoelectron wave scattering from nearby atoms. The intensity oscillations in the data are analyzed by comparison to theoretical models (PED), direct inversion to yield bond lengths (PEFS), or direct inversion to obtain a three-dimensional image (PEH). This thesis describes several experiments in which high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy, PEFS, and PEH have been employed to study the atomic structure of semiconductor surfaces.
