Inelastic Electron Spectroscopy Study.
Abstract
Activities regarding the design, construction and testing of equipment necessary for sample preparation and the inelastic electron tunneling spectrometer are described in detail. To successfully prepare a tunnel junction the supplied vacuum had to be made functional and then modified so that the following functions could be performed: (1) metal evaporation, (2) metal oxidation by glow discharge and (3) oxide contamination through bleed-in devices. Many of the difficulties encountered and the procedures used to eliminate them are discussed. Experimental tunnel junction spectral data are included and discussed in view of existing literature.
