A new instrument for spot profile analysis of electron diffraction - SPA-LEED - has been set up. The instrument works either with a transparent phosphor screen for visual inspection of the pattern or in its main mode with a channeltron for the measurement of the intensity. The diffraction pattern is recorded with a fixed channeltron position by scanning the beam over the channeltron aperture using two sets of electrostatic deflection plates. The scanning range covers about 30{deg}. The intensity may vary over five orders of magnitude. The SPA-LEED system was checked with the Si 111 7 x 7 surface. A full width at half maximum of 0.3% of the normal reflex distance corresponding to a transfer width of 110 nm is reproducibly obtained. Under optimum conditions the transfer width rose up to about 200 nm. Initial high resolution measurements have been performed on the system Pb on Cu 111. The results demonstrate the possibilities of the new instrument for qualitative and quantitative analysis.

A low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) apparatus which works at temperatures down to about 100 mK is designed to obtain structural information of 2D helium on graphite. This very low temperature system can be realized by reducing the thermal inflow from the LEED optics to the sample which is cooled by cryogen-free dilution refrigerator. The atomic scattering factor of He is also estimated using a kinematical model, which suggests that the diffraction signal from He atom can well be obtained by using a delay-line detector instead of a fluorescent screen.
We have developed the Physics Inventory of Quantitative Literacy (PIQL) as a tool to measure students quantitative literacy in the context of introductory physics topics. We present the results from various quantitative analyses used to establish the validity of both the individual items and the PIQL as a whole. We show how examining the results from classical test theory analyses, factor analysis, and item response curves informed decisions regarding the inclusion, removal, or modification of items. We also discuss how the choice to include multiple-choice/multiple-response items has informed both our choices for analyses and the interpretations of their results. We are confident that the most recent version of the PIQL is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring students physics quantitative literacy in calculus-based introductory physics courses at our primary research site. More data are needed to establish its validity for use at other institutions and in other courses.
We have used Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) I-V analysis and ab initio calculations to quantitatively determine the honeycomb chain model structure for the Si(111)-3x2-Sm surface. This structure and a similar 3x1 recontruction have been obser ved for many Alkali-Earth and Rare-Earth metals on the Si(111) surface. Our ab initio calculations show that there are two almost degenerate sites for the Sm atom in the unit cell and the LEED I-V analysis reveals that an admixture of the two in a ratio that slightly favours the site with the lower energy is the best match to experiment. We show that the I-V curves are insensitive to the presence of the Sm atom and that this results in a very low intensity for the half order spots which might explain the appearance of a 3x1 LEED pattern produced by all of the structures with a 3x2 unit cell.
Zirconium based alloys have been irradiated with 11 and 15 MeV proton and 116 MeV oxygen ions at different doses. The changes in the microstructure have been studied for the ion irradiated alloys as a function of dose using X-Ray Diffraction Line Pro file Analysis (XRDLPA) based on the whole powder pattern fitting technique. It was observed that the microstructural parameters like domain size, microstrain within the domain, dislocation density did not change significantly with the increase in dose for proton irradiated samples. A clear change was noticed in these microstructural parameters as a function of dose for oxygen irradiated samples. There was a drastic decrease in domain size at a dose of 1x10^17 O5+/m2 but these values reached a plateau with increasing dose. The values of microstrain and dislocation density increased significantly with the dose of irradiation.
Off-axis electron holography was used to observe and quantify the magnetic microstructure of a perpendicular magnetic anisotropic (PMA) recording media. Thin foils of PMA materials exhibit an interesting up and down domain configuration. These domain s are found to be very stable and were observed at the same time with their stray field, closing magnetic flux in the vacuum. The magnetic moment can thus be determined locally in a volume as small as few tens of cubic nanometers.
