• electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) [53][54], Raman spectroscopy [55], and low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) [56] as well as by theoretical analysis [57][58][59]. It is now well established that electron irradiation leads to cleavage of C–H and S–H bonds, followed by the formation of C–C bonds

• these clusters or if it just becomes thinner or perforated. However, the TEM data do not show any evidence of a wetting layer at room temperature, since at this temperature only very small gold clusters are seen. This is in agreement with low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) calculations, which predict

Methods based on the latter two, photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) and low energy electron microscopy (LEEM), have found a special place in the field of surface science, and they will be the
