We examine the differences between low-energy electron-diffraction patterns (holograms) and optical holograms. We show that electron-diffraction patterns in solids are not analogous to optical holograms because of strong dynamical factors. We also show that low-energy electron holograms can be inverted by a large-wave-number small-angle integral transformation. The grid sizes in wave number and angular spaces used in the transformation are derived.

Diffraction Patterns

Oxygen chemisorption on the Zr(0001) surface has been studied in the low-exposure regime with Auger electron spectroscopy and measurements of the width of a half-order low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) beam. The new observations and conclusions are as follows. (i) The diffusion of O atoms to the bulk effectively starts at around 236 °C. (ii) Oxygen adsorbs in a disordered state at room temperature and orders sufficiently to show a (2 × 2)-type LEED pattern on heating to 220 °C. (iii) With increasing O exposure, 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of the available adsorption sites can be systematically filled, while showing the apparent (2 × 2)-LEED pattern, prior to the establishment of an ordered (1 × 1)-O surface. (iv) The process in (iii) can be reversed by starting with the (1 × 1)-O surface and heating above 236 °C.
