Preferred Label : photoelectron spectroscopy;
MeSH definition : The study of the energy of electrons ejected from matter by the photoelectric effect,
i.e., as a direct result of absorption of energy from electromagnetic radiation. As
the energies of the electrons are characteristic of a specific element, the measurement
of the energy of these electrons is a technique used to determine the chemical composition
of surfaces.;
