MeSH Heading: Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Tree Number(s): E05.196.867.618
Unique ID: D056951
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D056951
Scope Note: The study of the energy of electrons ejected from matter by the photoelectric effect, i.e., as a direct result of absorption of energy from electromagnetic radiation. As the energies of the electrons are characteristic of a specific element, the measurement of the energy of these electrons is a technique used to determine the chemical composition of surfaces.
Entry Term(s): Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis; Photoelectron Emission Spectroscopy; Photoelectron Spectrometry; Photoemission Spectroscopy; Ultra-Violet Photoelectron Spectroscopy; Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy; X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy; Xray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
