Microstructures and nanostructures on silver-halide surfaces 1 : preparation and characterization of AgBr samples

Abstract

We have prepared two types of well-defined AgBr samples as model systems for surface investigations. Both model systems (monodisperse microcrystal ensembles and evaporated thin films) were characterized by IR spectroscopy and XPS, respectively. In the case of thin film preparation the AgBr vapour beam was analyzed by mass spectrometry
