Specs Phoibos X/U/I PES
Photoemission spectroscopy (PES) refers to the photoelectric effect (wikipedia). If a photon with sufficient energy hits an atom or molecule, it could be absorbed and triggers an electron of the atom or molecule. This collision preserves the total energy.
By changing the method and parameters, the surface's or solid's electronic constitution could be analyzed. From less then a monolayer up to 10 nm of a solid, information about surface adsorbates could be gathered.
