Low energy ion scattering and scanning tunneling microscopy for surface structure analysis

  • 1. FB Physik, Universitaet Osnabrueck, D-49069 Osnabrueck (Germany)

Description

Low energy ion scattering (ISS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) are powerful tools for the analysis of surface structures. Both techniques are operative in real space. The ion scattering techniques afford quantitative data on surface structure but as spatial averages only. STM provides non-averaged local information but it is not necessarily quantitative. STM provides detailed information on surface defects, e.g. steps, and mesoscopic structures. The two techniques will be compared in the case of (110) surfaces of Au and Pb. copyright 1996 American Institute of Physics
