Chemical, Structural and Electronic Analysis of Heterogeneous Surfaces on Nanometer Scale

by R. Rosei (Editor)

Overview

An assessment of the recent achievements and relative strengths of two developing techniques for characterising surfaces at the nanometer scale: (i) local probe methods, including scanning tunnelling microscopy and its derivatives; and (ii) nanoscale photoemission and absorption spectroscopy for chemical analysis.
The keynote lectures were delivered by some of the world's best scientists in the field and some of the topics covered include: (1) The possible application of STM in atomically resolved chemical analysis. (2) The principles of scanning force/friction and scanning near-field optical microscopes. (3) The scanning photoemission electron microscopes built at ELETTRA and SRRC, with a description of synchrotron radiation microscopy. (4) Recent progress in the development of spatially-resolved photoelectron microscopy, especially the use of zone plate photon optics. (5) The present status of non-scanning photoemission microscopy with slow electrons. (6) the BESSY 2 project for a non-scanning photoelectron microscope with electron optics. (7) Spatially-resolved in situ reaction studies of chemical waves and oscillatory phenomena with the UV photoemission microscope.

Editorial Reviews

Seven papers from an April 1995 workshop in Trieste, Italy, deal with two emerging techniques for characterizing surface properties on the nanometer scale: local probe methods including scanning tunnelling microscopy and its derivatives; and nano- scale photoemissions and absorption spectroscopy for chemical analysis. Among the topics are the transport of surface state electrons through dangling bonds on silicon, and their scattering and confinement on metals; opportunities, limitations, and data- taking strategies of synchrotron radiation spectromicroscopy; recent advances in low-energy electron and photo-electron emission microscopy for structural and chemical analysis, and some developments in spectromicroscopy at BESSY.
