Abstract
Electron diffraction offers a solution to the problem of distinguishing between conducting and insulating surface films on conducting objects. An electron beam striking an insulating surface behaves in a different manner than with a conducting surface because of a charging up of the insulating surface. This enables the observer to recognize an insulating film on the surface of a sample.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
