What Does SPLEED Stand For?

SPLEED stands for Spin Polarized Low Energy Electron Diffraction

SPLEED, or Spin Polarized Low Energy Electron Diffraction, is a sophisticated surface analysis technique that leverages low-energy electron beams to investigate the structural and electronic properties of materials. By analyzing the spin polarization of the electrons scattered from a surface, SPLEED provides insights into the magnetic properties and electronic states at the atomic level, enhancing our understanding of materials in fields such as condensed matter physics and nanotechnology. This method is particularly valuable for studying surfaces and interfaces, where electronic behaviors can differ significantly from bulk materials.
