Using the elastic peak electron spectroscopy (EPES), the transmission functions were determined for the 4-grid retarding field and the hemispherical analyzers, which are commonly used for surface physics experiments.
The model of quantitative interpretation of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) results is described and some complementary electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) results are also reported. It is shown that the InP(100) surfaces perturbed by the Ar^{+} cleaning treatment can be ordered by Sb deposition. The variations of different Auger lines are interpreted, and the transformations 3D → 2D of the initially formed In clusters can be well-followed during the first stages of the deposition.
The experimental values of Inelastic Mean Free Path (λ_{IMFP}) of electrons in noble metals (Ag, Au, Cu) are determined in the electron energy range 150-2000 eV. The method used consists of the measurements and theoretical calculations of the coefficient of elastic backscattering of electrons from a solid surface η_{e}. The obtained values of λ_{IMFP} are compared with the data available in the literature.
