Surface Microscopy with Low Energy Electrons

Abstract

This chapter covers the study of thin films, nanostructures, and surfaces of bulk ferromagnetic and other domain-forming materials such as antiferromagnetics, ferroelectrics, and multiferroics. Several methods are used in these studies: spin-polarized low energy electron microscopy (SPLEEM), X-ray magnetic circular dichroism photoemission electron microscopy (XMCDPEEM), X-ray magnetic linear dichroism photoemission electron microscopy (XMLDPEEM), UV magnetic circular dichroism photoemission electron microscopy (UVMCDPEEM), spin-resolved ultraviolet photoemission electron microscopy (UVPEEM), and mirror electron microscopy (MEM). In the spirit of this book the emphasis is on imaging. For a detailed discussion of the magnetic aspects the reader is referred to review papers which will be cited in the context of the various applications and to the comprehensive book on magnetism by Stöhr and Siegmann (Stöhr and Siegmann, Magnetism. Springer, Berlin, 2006).
