Photoelectron Spectroscopy: Principles and Applications

Photoemission Spectroscopy is one of the best methods for studying the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, solids and surfaces (interfaces). This volume gives an up-to-date introduction to this field with the emphasis on solids and surfaces. The reader will learn about the basic technique of photoemission spectroscopy and obtain the background to carry out his own research work based on the chapters of this book: Experimental aspects, Core levels, Satellites, Simple metals, Valence bands in molecules and insulating solids, Valance bands of metallic solids, Band structure from angle resolved data, Surfaces states, Inverse photoemission, Spin polarized photoemission, and Photoelectron diffraction.
