Abstract
When an organic chemist synthesizes a molecule for the first time, he employs a variety of techniques to characterize his new discovery. Probes ranging from x-ray diffraction to nuclear magnetic resonance are used to provide details on the structure and bonding in the sample. Since no single experiment can provide a complete spectrum of information, a variety of complementary studies must be performed. Similarly, to accurately characterize a surface, numerous techniques must be employed. Unfortunately, it is impossible to write a short chapter covering all surface sensitive probes in detail since volumes of material have been written on the subject. Even summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of the major techniques would require a multitude of pages and provide few new insights. Instead, I would like to take a different tack here and after introducing the basic areas of modern surface analysis, show how a variety of complementary surface analytical techniques can be brought to bear on a single chemisorption system. Hopefully this will prove to be an instructive approach.
