Abstract
Abstract A new instrument for spot profile analysis of electron diffraction (SPA-LEED) has been set up. The instrument works either with a transparent phosphor screen for visual inspection of the pattern or in its main mode with a channeltron for the measurement of the intensity. The diffraction pattern is recorded with a fixed channeltron position by scanning the beam over the channeltron aperture using two sets of electrostatic deflection plates. The scanning range covers about 30°. The intensity may vary over five orders of magnitude. The SPA-LEED system was checked with the Si(111) 7 × 7 surface. A full width at half maximum of 0.3% of the normal reflex distance corresponding to a transfer width of 110 nm is reproducibly obtained. Under optimum conditions the transfer width rose up to about 200 nm. Initial high resolution measurements have been performed on the system Pb on Cu(111). The results demonstrate the possibilities of the new instrument for qualitative and quantitative analysis.
