Abstract
Low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) has gained new capabilities and now provides high-end instrumentation for real-world surface analytical applications. Although the technique has been available for some decades, recent developments in instrumentation make the unique capabilities of LEIS accessible for everyday applications. Special ion energy analyzer designs allow LEIS to be used for non-destructive quantitative analysis of the elemental composition of the outermost atomic layer with high sensitivity and high mass resolution. At the same time, the composition of the first 10 nm of sub-surface material is also assessed. Applications are very broad, ranging from catalysts to various thin films to polymers.
