Molecular Spectroscopy by Inelastic Electron Tunneling.

Abstract

This report examines the capabilities and limitations of the technique of inelastic electron tunneling (IET) as a molecular spectroscopic tool for surface studies. Following a brief review of the literature, an outline of the theory is given and the experimental technique discussed. The tunneling spectra of both clean and doped Al-Al oxide-Pb junctions are considered in detail. A comparison with existing surface analysis techniques concludes the report. (Author)
