Abstract

Monoenergetic positrons with incident energies of less than 25 eV were employed as a nondestructive surface and near-surface sensitive probe. Positron reflectivity and the positronium emission were measured as a function of incident energy for various oxygen coverages ranging from submonolayer to 3500 A\r{} of ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$ on Si. The characteristics of these spectra change systematically with oxidation and are in good agreement with the known development of the surface electronic structure. Different oxidation stages are identified.
