Abstract

Electron diffraction techniques are widely used in Surface Science, with the main aim of determining atomic positions in surface reconstruction and the location of absorbed atoms. These 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. Several reflection (REM) and scanning (SEM) instruments have been built with energies between 5 and 100 keV. In general, the addition of RHEED to an UHV-SEM with Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) forms a very useful tool in Surface Science.
