Abstract

A method for work-function evaluation is proposed, based on recording the shift of x-ray photoelectron signals from a surface irradiated by low-energy electrons. The method is capable of measuring samples with very low conductivity, poor back contacts, and high dielectric constants. The method is also applicable to magnetic materials and can be particularly effective for studies of multilayer and heterogeneous systems.
