Title: Fourier-transform analysis of normal photoelectron diffraction data for surface-structure determination

Journal Article · · Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

A direct method for surface-structure determination from normal emission photoelectron diffraction (NPD) data is presented. Fourier transforms of the calculated NPD intensities yield peaks at adsorbate-substrate normal interlayer distances. Applications are demonstrated using theoretical NPD curves for the Se/Ni system calculated by dynamical theory. These results show that interplanar spacings between the overlayer and as many as four substrate layers could be determined with an accuracy of better than 2%.
