Welcome to this small MsSpec tour

Through various activities of growing difficulty, you will explore the features offered by the MsSpec software for modelling various electron spectroscopies using the multiple scattering theory.

We will focus on photoelectron diffraction, since the technique brings together all the concepts needed to learn how to perform simulation with MsSpec.

• Activity 1: Getting started
• Activity 2: Setting up the “experiment”
• Activity 3: Adsorbates and the single scattering approach
• Activity 4: From single scattering to multiple scattering
• Activity 5: Multiple scattering in the forward scattering regime
• Activity 6: Effect of the temperature
• Activity 7: Large clusters and path filtering
• Activity 8: Inequivalent emitters and the XPD of a substrate
• Activity 9: Comparing simulation and experiment with R-factors
• Activity 10: Auger Electron Diffraction
• Activity 11: Spectral radius and convergence
• Final word
