What Does PD Stand For?
PD stands for Photoelectron Diffraction
Photoelectron Diffraction (PD) is an advanced analytical technique used to study the surface structure and electronic properties of materials. It involves the emission of photoelectrons from a material when illuminated by X-rays or ultraviolet light, with the resulting diffraction patterns providing valuable information about the arrangement of atoms on surfaces at the atomic scale. PD is widely employed in fields such as materials science, chemistry, and nanotechnology to gain insights into surface phenomena and interfaces.
