Electron Spectrometry Of Atoms Using Synchrotron Radiation (Cambridge Monographs On Atomic, Molecular And Chemical Physics, Series Number 6)

Electron Spectrometry of Atoms using Synchrotron Radiation (Cambridge Monographs on Atomic, Molecular and Chemical Physics, Series Number 6)

This book describes the theory and practice of electron spectrometry using synchrotron radiation. After a short review of background theory, neon is used to elucidate the principles of the photoelectron and Auger spectra. The second part of the book looks at experimental aspects, including characteristic features of electrostatic analyzers, detectors, lenses, disturbances, and optimization, and then illustrates theory and experiment with details of recent experiments. The third part provides useful reference data, including wavefunctions, special theory, polarization and special aspects of instrumentation. A detailed reference list completes the volume. The study of electron spectrometry using synchrotron radiation is a growing field of research driven by the increasing availability of advanced synchrotron radiation light sources and improved theoretical methods for solving the many-electron problem in atoms. This balanced account will be of value to both theorists and experimentalists working in this area.Review'Occasionally, a book is written which stands alone in its field, one that is lucid in style with a breadth of topics to enthuse the student whilst, at the same time, containing enough depth to be invaluable to the expert. Volker Schmidt's Electron Spectroscopy of Atoms using Synchronotron Radiation is such a book
