DOWNLOAD EBOOKResearch has been performed using high resolution electron microscopy under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions on a number of metal semiconductor systems. The new system combining classical surface characterization techniques and growth has been installed on a UHV microscope and fully tested. The growth at the monolayer level of Au and Ay on Si (001) has been studied combining XPS and electron microscopy. Studies of the growth of Au on both air introduced and Ga-rich GaAs (001) substrates have been performed. A variety of new methodologies and techniques have been developed, most notably atomic scale imaging of surfaces at a higher level than previously possible and new methods of determining surface structures just from electron (or x-ray) diffraction data. Electron microscopy studies of MoS2 lubricant films are also described.
