Preferred Label : reflection high energy electron diffraction;
Detailed label : reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED);
IUPAC acronym : RHEED;
IUPAC definition : Any technique which measures the angular intensity distribution of electrons 'reflected'
from a crystalline surface under bombardment with high energy electrons near grazing
incidence. The diffraction pattern provides very surface sensitive information (information
depth 1 nm) on the atomic arrangement of the top layers of a solid.;
