Problems of Producing a Clean Surface by Outgassing in Ultrahigh Vacuum

  • Chapter
Book cover Fundamental Phenomena in the Materials Sciences

Abstract

The surface of a material—solid or liquid—is “clean,” if there are no adsorbed foreign atoms or molecules on the surface and no chemisorbed or absorbed foreign atoms or molecules in the surface layers. The simplest way to visualize such a clean surface is to break a piece of solid pure metal.
