Abstract
A sketch is given of the development of photoemission electron spectroscopy (PES) with emphasis on the author’s own experience. Emphasis is placed: (1) on the period between 1958–1970; (2) on the various developments which were required for PES to emerge; and (3) on the strong interactions between applied/fundamental and knowledge/empirically based research. A more detailed discussion is given of the recent (1975–present) application of PES to study the interfaces of III–V semiconductors.
