Abstract

The possibilities presented by low-energy electron-induced X-ray emission spectroscopy to study chemical interactions in solids are discussed. Examples of change observed for the emissions between core levels as a function of the chemical environment of the emitting atoms are given. By comparing the partial densities of the valence states associated to each type of atoms in the compound, it is shown that the strength of the metal-ligand interactions can be obtained. Information on the charge densities around each type of atoms can be deduced. Application to the study of the interactions at the atomic scale to solid–solid interfaces is presented.
