title: Utilization of Photoemission Cross-Section Effects for Monitoring Thin-Film Growth in UHV.
abstract: Given the tunability of synchrotron radiation, photoemission spectroscopy can be used to monitor the growth modes of thin films in UHV. Cross-section effects such as Cooper minima and resonant photoemission can be exploited to maximize the adsorbate signal and minimize that from the substrate. Under favourable circumstances growth can be monitored in real time at coverages of <1%. As an example the growth of Gd on W(110) is investigated.
