Surface Crystallography: An Introduction to Low Energy Electron Diffraction

By L. J. Clarke

Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) is one of the most commonly used techniques for crystal surface characterization at the atomic level, but is frequently only used as a monitor of surface order. The full potential of LEED as a tool for surface crystallography is not often exploited, primarily because the method has in the past been regarded as notoriously difficult. Many previous difficulties have now been overcome with experience, or by improved experimental or theoretical techniques, and this book aims to bring the reader up to date with the current capabilities of the method, using an approach that should not deter the less mathematically-inclined.
