โฆ Synopsis
A three-dimensional analysis in reciprocal space is used to analyse reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) patterns. Particular emphasis is placed on investigating the surface resonance phenomenon, the resonance conditions, and the diffraction mechanisms. The surface resonance regions defined by the resonance beam threshold conditions are related to the limits for the specular reflection spot in the diffraction pattern. The introduction of an Ewald sphere of varying radius is shown to be useful in understanding the surface phenomenon. Simulations based on the geometric theory, taking account of the surface refraction effect, describe very well the RHEED pattern geometry from the (111) surface of a platinum single crystal.
