Surface Structure Determination Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) Analyzes surface crystallographic structure by bombarding the surface with low energy electrons (10-200 eV) and the diffracted electrons creates patterns on phosphorescent screen. The pattern of spots contains information of surface structure and the spot intensity indicates reconstruction http://electron.lbl.gov/leed/leedtheory.html http://dol1.eng.sunysb.edu/expcht1.html
