Annotation -

The course of electron spectroscopy is intended exclusively for graduate students, who need to acquire comprehensive knowledge of electron spectroscopic methods of surface analysis of solids. It deals namely with Auger Electron Spectroscopy, X-ray and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy, but also with less widely used methods like Elastic Peak Electron Spectroscopy, Appearance Potential Spectroscopy and Inverse or Two-photon Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Their principles and experimental set-ups as well as the issues of both qualitative and quantitative surface analysis are treated in detail.
