Surface imaging with LEEM

Abstract

In low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) surfaces are imaged with LEED electrons. The physical and electron-optical principles of the method are described as well as a prototype LEEM microscope. Micrographs of Mo, Si, and Au surfaces illustrate the various types of contrast obtained with LEEM and its application.
