MCES150 electron source.

MCES150

HREELS: Measuring Phonon Dispersion

PES ARPES

  • Monochromated electron source for HREELS
  • Integrated with Scienta Omicron analysers (DA30-L, DA20)
  • Parallel readout, fast measurement
  • Ultra-stable HV electronics and automatic tuning
  • Variable primary electron energy

Multichannel high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) enables direct observation of the dispersion of collective excitations at surfaces, such as phonons. The Scienta Omicron MCES150 monochromatic electron source, combined with an electron analyser for angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) such as the DFS30, DA30-L and DA20, creates a powerful platform for multichannel HREELS measurements. The combination of a highly collimated electron beam and the analyser’s 2D detector delivers excellent energy and angular resolution, while simultaneous multichannel acquisition reduces the measurement time by orders of magnitude compared to conventional HREELS approach.
