This book describes the theory and practice of electron spectrometry using synchrotron radiation. After a short review of background theory, neon is used to elucidate the principles of the photoelectron and Auger spectra. The second part of the book looks at experimental aspects, including characteristic features of electrostatic analyzers, detectors, lenses, disturbances, and optimization, and then illustrates theory and experiment with details of recent experiments. The third part provides useful reference data, including wavefunctions, special theory, polarization and special aspects of instrumentation. A detailed reference list completes the volume. The study of electron spectrometry using synchrotron radiation is a growing field of research driven by the increasing availability of advanced synchrotron radiation light sources and improved theoretical methods for solving the many-electron problem in atoms. This balanced account will be of value to both theorists and experimentalists working in this area.

Extensively revised and updated with additional material included in existing chapters and new material on angle resolved XPS, surface engineering and complimentary methods. Includes an accessible introduction to the key spectroscopic techniques in surface analysis. Provides descriptions of latest instruments and techniques. Includes a detailed glossary of key surface analysis terms.

This volume, aimed at researchers in condensed matter physics and materials science, reviews recent developments in the application of electron spectroscopies to a range of low-dimensional materials. In adopting as a common theme the techniques rather than specific materials, the volume amply demonstrates the effectiveness of electron spectroscopies extracting information on solids by their application to a range of phenomena in materials as disparate as high-temperature superconductors, polymeric materials, and charge density wave systems. In doing so, some similarities in the behaviour of these markedly different materials are also addressed.
