About the Project

This project will utilise the new Cardiff £1M low energy electron microscopy (LEEM) facility to develop surface convergent beam low energy electron diffraction (CBLEED) technique and probe the nanoscale structure of surfaces. This will provide a new means of obtaining surface space group symmetry and the atomic coordinates of surface reconstructions. Low energy electrons are strongly scattered by the surface potential and we will apply a number of modeling approaches to simulate and interpret experimental CBLEED patterns in order to extract nanostructural information.

Funding Notes
