Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Photoemission spectroscopy is one of the best methods for studying the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces (interfaces). This volume gives an up-to-date introduction to this field with the emphasis on solids and surfaces. The reader will learn about the basic technique of photoemission spectroscopy and obtain the necessary background for work based on this book.
