The X-ray standing-wave technique is reviewed in its application to surface investigations.
Element-specific, structural analysis can be performed with high spatial resolution even for …

LEED and AES experiments of the SiC {0001} crystal surfaces show that on heat-treatment
these surfaces are easily “covered” with a layer of graphite by evaporation of silicon. The …

In this article, the current understanding of semiconductor surface reconstructions and the
role of total-energy calculations in achieving this understanding is reviewed. The methods …

Auger and direct electron spectra from Zn, ZnO, Ga and Ga 2 O 3 have been studied with X-
ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA). The chemical shift between zinc electron binding …

The total secondary electron emission spectrum from diamond has been examined, and
details of the Auger spectra, characteristic loss spectra and K-level ionisation loss spectra …

Cubic β-SiC (001) surfaces were cleaned in ultra-high vacuum by heating within a Si atomic
flux, allowing contaminant species to desorb while continuously replenishing volatile surface …

The principal features in the Auger electron spectrum from a SiO2 surface are presented.
The primary electron beam bombarding the SiO2 surface has a profound influence on its …

The composition of the interface resulting from the room-temperature deposition of iron on Si
(100) under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions has been monitored by surface-sensitive …

The adsorption of oxygen on thermally cleaned (111) silicon surfaces has been investigated
by Auger electron spectroscopy, with mass spectrometric monitoring of the gas phase …

We derive a detailed, microscopic description of the Si (111)/Cu-''5× 5''reconstruction. The
key to understanding this structure is the x-ray standing-wave determination of the Cu …
