Figure 2.3: ”Universal curve” for electron inelastic mean free path λ.<br />
of 20 to 200 eV. And hence the surface sensitivity of photoemission spectroscopy is<br />
highest in this energy range.<br />
2.2.4 Experimental set-up<br />
The OMICRON photoemission system at Institute of Physics consists of two connected<br />
UHV chambers, a sample preparation chamber and an analysis chamber. The<br />
preparation chamber is equipped with a precision manipulator, sample heater, evaporator<br />
and a diamond file. The analysis chamber is made up of µ metal to protect low<br />
energy electrons from earth’s magnetic field and stray magnetic fields. It is equipped<br />
with a 125 mm hemispherical analyser [10] for angle integrated photoemission and a<br />
movable 65 mm hemispherical analyser mounted on a 2-axis goniometer is also there<br />
for angle resolved photoemission. Two photon sources [10, 14] (ultra-violet and x-ray)<br />
are used for photoexcitations. The analysis chamber is also equipped with a 4-axis<br />
sample manipulator-cum cryostat which can go down to 20 K. Facility for performing<br />
low energy electron diffraction (LEED) is also available in the analysis chamber. The<br />
external view of the spectrometer is shown in the Fig. 2.4. Some of the important<br />
components of the spectrometer are described below.
