Surface Studies

Abstract

The objective of the Surface Studies Program is (1) to elucidate the interactions causing atoms and molecules to bind to metal surfaces and (2) to study the dynamics of gas-solid interactions on an atomic scale, and with an accuracy which has not been possible heretofore. The research program includes absorption studies, field emission spectroscopy, direct electron micrographic observation of adsorption and diffusion, dynamics of atom and molecule collisions with surface, physical and chemical processes near metal surfaces in high electric fields, and theoretical studies. Technical progress is also reported on the Leed-Auger-UPS-Esco-EID machine, extended range field emission spectroscopy, direct electron micrographic observation of adsorption and diffusion, and universal solid-gas molecular beam apparatus.
