Ag (100)

Momentum Microscope
(NanoESCA with k-space optics):
Ag(100) and unfocused VUV source

The following example represents one of the first k-space image sequences taken in 2010 on Ag(100) in two different energy bands with the Momentum Microscope (NanoESCA) and the (non-focused) VUV source FOCUS HIS13 in the lab. Please compare with recent sequences we took on Ag(111) with our newly developed small spot VUV source FOCUS HIS13/SS.

The energies shown are related to the fermi level.
