Abstract

The major impetus for developing the use of LEED has been the prospect of surface crystallography, i.e. the determination of atomic positions at crystalline surfaces. In addition to the use of LEED for surface characterization (especially the use of diffraction patterns to monitor the state of the surface), surface crystallography has indeed been the major application of LEED. This chapter will describe the specific methods that have been developed for the determination of surface structures through the interpretation of intensity data. (The interpretation of the LEED pattern has been discussed extensively in Chap. 3.) These methods fall into two classes: the kinematic and the dynamical methods.
