Book description

This monograph describes the theory and practice of electron spectrometry using synchrotron radiation. The book is in three parts. 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 analysers, detectors, lenses, disturbances, and optimisation, and then illustrates theory and experiment with details of recent experiments. The third part provides useful reference data, including wavefunctions, special theory, polarisation 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.

Reviews

‘Occasionally, a book is written which stands alone in its field, one that is lucid in style with a breadth of topics to enthuse the student whilst, at the same time, containing enough depth to be invaluable to the expert. Volker Schmidt’s Electron Spectroscopy of Atoms using Synchronotron Radiation is such a book … In summary, Electron Spectroscopy of Atoms using Synchrotron Radiation provides a useful and useable handbook for researchers in the filed of atomic physics and beyond - many of the techniques discussed may be equally applied to the study of molecules or indeed surfaces. It furnishes the basis for advanced undergraduate study, whilst providing sufficient depth and embodying a wealth of experience to satisfy the specialist. I am sure that in the future, there will be few research groups using electron spectroscopy or synchrotron radiation that do not possess a well-thumbed copy of this book.’

‘… an excellent introduction to basic electron spectrometry … I highly recommend this book both to the beginning post-graduate student as an efficient learning tool, as well as to the more experienced researcher as an invaluable source of reference.’

’ … a real treasure chest - provides a wealth of very useful information for everybody who is concerned with photoelectron spectroscopy at any level.’
