Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Photoemission spectroscopy is one of the best methods for studying the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces (interfaces). This volume gives an up-to-date introduction to this field with the emphasis on solids and surfaces. The reader will learn about the basic technique of photoemission spectroscopy and obtain the necessary background for work based on this book.

Photoelectron Spectroscopy presents an up-to-date introduction to the field by comprehensively treating the electronic structures of atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces. Brief descriptions are given of inverse photoemission, spin-polarized photoemission and photoelectron diffraction. Experimental aspects are considered throughout the book and the results are carefully interpreted in terms of the theory. A wealth of measured data is presented in tabular form for easy use by experimentalists. This new edition has been substantially updated and extended.

Photoelectron spectroscopy is an essential tool in surface science and beyond This well established textbook provides a compehensive treatment of all theoretical and experimental considerations The third edition has been significantly extended and updated Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
