Reflection high-energy electron diffraction
"Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is the analytical tool of choice for characterizing thin films during growth by molecular beam epitaxy, since it is very sensitive to surface structure and morphology. This book serves as an introduction to RHEED for beginners and describes detailed experimental and theoretical treatments for experts. First the principles of electron diffraction and many exaples of the interpretation of RHEED patterns are described for beginners. The second part contains detailed descriptions of RHEED theory. The third part applies RHEED to the determination of surface structures, gives detailed descriptions of the effects of disorder and critically reviews the mechanisms contributing to RHEED intensity oscillations."
