Abstract

So far in this volume, we have neglected a seemingly obvious effect in PES, namely the scattering of the photoexcited electron on its way through the crystal to the surface, by the crystal potential. This is a straightforward scattering problem leading to intensity modulations as a function of electron wavelength and/or crystal orientation. Such intensity modulations have indeed been observed and the method of measuring PES in order to bring out most clearly the scattering features of the final-state electron intensity is called PhotoElectron Diffraction (PED).

  29. J.J. Barton: Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 1356 (1988)] that PED data can be viewed as a hologram of the surface structure. Adsorbate PED spectra taken in the backscattering (180°) geometry will exhibit large oscillations (if the experiment is performed in the energy dispersion, fixed geometry mode) which are mainly caused by one scatterer. This fact can be utilized to determine the position of the nearest-neighbour substrate atom [

  30. V. Fritsche, P.D. Woodruff: Phys. Rev. B 46, 16128 (1992)]. In an actual experiment the modulation function χexp(k) is measured at various emission angles and subsequently Fourier transformed yielding MATH The object of the method is to identify the directions of the main (substrate) backscattering nearest-neighbour atoms relative to the emitter. This method, however, leads to inaccuracies because the scattering phase shifts are neglected. Hofmann and Schindler have improved this procedure by replacing the Fourier transform with the projection of the experimentally determined modulation function χexp(k) onto the calculated modulation function χth(k,r) expected for all possible different substrate atom locations relative to the emitter. This can be considered as replacing the pure harmonic phase function of the Fourier transform by χth(k,r) leading to MATH The c(r) functions for several experimental modulation functions taken in different emission directions are then combined to give a coefficient C(r) derived from the whole data set. These C(r) functions give some measure of the probability of finding a substrate atom at the position r on the grid of possible substrate atom locations. In particular, one can expect pronounced maxima in C(r) at the location of the nearest-neighbour surface atoms, thus allowing the adsorption site to be determined
