PEEM and LEEM History1962 Invention by Ernst BauerGlass-Based Vacuum Apparatus1985 First Operational LEEM Instrument Telieps and Bauer1991 IBM LEEM-I Tromp and ReuterThis Instrument Now in Essen1993 Elmitec LEEMFormer Coworkers of E. Bauer1998 IBM LEEM-IISince Then: LEEM and PEEM has Gained Inreasing Importance: Today More Than 30 Instruments Worldwide (2 in Essen)

Lens Action: Image + Diffraction
Magnetic LensesAs Lenses for OpticsFocal Length
A Few DifferencesImage RotationOnly Convex LensesQuality much Worse !Objective Lens of new S-PEEM in Essen
Basic PEEM OpticsPhotoemissionCreates Electrons Bias VoltageReduces Angle of Photoemitted Electrons, thus increases Numerical ApertureProjector LensesMagnify Image on the ScreenCameraRecords Image to Computer or Video Tapeln-w3.polycnrs-gre.fr/themes/ dichro/PEEM-fr.html
Photoemission of ElectronsSurface IlluminationTypical: HG Lamp (5eV) but also possible Synchrotron Light (ELETTRA, BESSY, CERN) or Laser Light (ESSEN)Electron EmissionAngles depend on Band-Structure of Material and can be quite high. 134.96.28.159/methoden/methoden.html
