• ]. The backscattering intensity varies depending on the material, presence of adsorbates, formation of surface reconstructions and other ordered structures, giving the means to distinguish lateral variations in such properties. In the basic operation mode, only one of the low energy electron diffraction

Low energy electron diffraction beams are generally much sharper than the broad photoelectron emission

• recently demonstrated by an ab initio study that clarified the interpretation of LEEM-I(V) curves [42]. An important aspect is the integration of LEEM with low energy electron diffraction (LEED). Diffraction experiments permit a full characterization of the crystal structure and quality of graphene. For

• ). After this procedure, the STM imaging proves that the Ge(001) surface exhibits atomically flat terraces with a lateral extension of 30–50 nm and a mixed (2 × 2)/c(4 × 2)-two domain reconstruction pattern as checked by low energy electron diffraction (LEED). We deposited 6 monolayers (MLs) of Au on the

One single-layer (SL) is defined as the molecular density of flat molecules fully covering the graphene layer, and it corresponds to a nominal thickness of about 3.4 Å. Low energy electron diffraction (LEED) was used to check the symmetry of both clean and Gr-covered
