Abstract

A new type of retarding potential difference electron spectrometer using spherical grids is described. The unique feature of the analyzer is a post monochromator section which selectively collects electrons passing the retarding grids with minimum kinetic energy. Factors affecting the resolution of the analyzer are discussed and a comparison with several other spectrometers operating in the resolution range of 0.05% is presented. An application to x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy is presented.
