My general area of research is Surface Physics, specifically the photoelectron spectroscopy of semiconductor surfaces using synchrotron radiation. My principal interest has been in the adsorption of small molecules on clean, ordered semiconductor surfaces; the area has a connection with device processing. More recently, research has focused on organic molecule adsorption. Synchrotron radiation has a unique combination of properties of intensity, tunability, polarisation and time-structure; when applied to traditional spectroscopy such as photoelectron spectroscopy, there is both a quality enhancement and the opportunity to p[erform novel variations on the technique, such as 'near-edge absorption fine structure ' or NEXAFS and 'photoelectron diffraction' or PhD
