Abstract:

We demonstrate that two-dimensionally resolved diffuse low-energy electron diffraction intensities can be measured with sufficient accuracy and at multiple energies to allow direct inversion for a low coverage (5%) disordered K/Ni(100) surface. The data inversion reveals three-dimensional coordinates of atoms with atom images whose full width at half maximum is less than 1 angstrom in all spatial directions. By varying the angle of incidence, first layer and second layer near-neighbor Ni atoms are separately imaged. This is the first demonstration of multiple-energy internal-source electron holography using measured elastically backscattered electrons.
