Description

This book presents an Ultrafast Low-Energy Electron Diffraction (ULEED)�system�that reveals�ultrafast structural changes on the atomic scale.�The achievable temporal resolution in the low-energy regime is improved by several orders of magnitude and has enabled the melting of a highly-sensitive, molecularly thin layer of a polymer crystal to be resolved for the first time. This new experimental approach permits time-resolved structural investigations of systems that were previously partially or totally inaccessible, including�surfaces, interfaces and atomically thin films. It will�be�of fundamental importance for understanding the properties of nanomaterials�so as to�tailor their�properties.Typham this is the title: Development of an Ultrafast Low-Energy Electron Diffraction Setup
