Surface Structural Investigations by Electron Diffraction Techniques

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 320))

Abstract

Detailed information on surface structures can be obtained by the use of electron diffraction techniques, such as LEED or RHEED. Their application to electrochemical problems, however, requires that the electrode is transferred from the electrochemical environment into a UHV chamber. Since the controlled emersion of electrodes is the basis of any successful ex-situ study, this process will be discussed first, followed by a brief introduction to the basic principles of electron diffraction at surfaces. Several selected examples of electrode surface studies are then presented, which demonstrate the power of electron diffraction techniques in assessing the structures of bare and adsorbate-covered surfaces.
