PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY OF SOLIDS USING SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION

A brief review of the technique of angle-resolved photoelectron spectr oscopy as used in conjunction with synchrotron radiation is given. Exa mples of the use of the technique which emphasise the collection of fu ll-hemisphere data are presented, covering the determination of Fermi surface topology and photoelectron diffraction/holography. An example of an investigation of quantum size effects and of the use of magnetic circular dichroism to explore the interaction of spin-orbit and excha nge effects in iron is also provided.
