Project Details
Description
Energetic electron beams have many uses: ranging from electron microscopy to chip production and cancer treatment. We will develop a new set of spectroscopies for high-energy electrons (5-50 keV) based on the basic physics of electron-atom interactions. The new techniques will be used to determine sample composition, electronic structure and crystal order at considerable depth below the surface. Knowledge will also be gained on the interaction of high-energy electrons with matter which is essential for the understanding of, for example, electron microscopy techniques. In addition the research will establish a new database of dielectric functions, which will be of wide interest, particularly for synchrotron-based researchers.
