Abstract
A brief review is given of Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy (IETS) as it is applied to investigations both of surface chemical phenomena as well as heterogeneous catatlysis. The use of IETS to probe the vibrational structure of admolecules is compared with alternate electron scattering methodologies, namely, Field Emission Energy Distribution (FEED) measurements and Inelastic Electron Scattering Spectroscopy (IESS). Both the advantages and the disadvantages of each type of measurement are emphasized.
