Reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010091",
  "term": "Reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A surface-sensitive analytical technique that measures the energy distribution of electrons scattered from a solid surface. Incident electrons lose energy through inelastic interactions with surface and near-surface atoms, providing information about electronic excitations and vibrational modes. This method is typically performed under ultra-high vacuum conditions.",
