Abstract

PLEASE, the Python Low-energy Electron Analysis SuitE, provides an open source and cross-platform graphical user interface (GUI) for rapid analysis and visualization of low energy electron microscopy (LEEM) data sets. LEEM and the associated technique, selected area micro-spot low energy electron diffraction (μ-LEED), are powerful tools for analysis of the surface structure for many novel materials. Specifically, these tools are uniquely suited for the characterization of two-dimensional materials. PLEASE offers a user-friendly point-and-click method for extracting intensity-voltage curves from LEEM and LEED data sets. Analysis of these curves provides insight into the atomic structure of the target material surface with unparalleled resolution.

Summary

Introduction

PLEASE, the Python Low-energy Electron Analysis SuitE, provides an open source and cross-platform graphical user interface (GUI) for rapid analysis and visualization of low energy electron microscopy (LEEM) data sets. PLEASE offers a user-friendly point-and-click method for extracting intensity-voltage curves from LEEM and LEED data sets. Surface structure information can be obtained from LEEM and μ-LEED experiments through analysis of intensity versus voltage, I(V), data sets.
