		RHEED systems gather information only from the surface layer of the sample, which distinguishes RHEED from other materials characterization methods that rely on diffraction of high-energy electrons.
		The RHEED pattern is a collection of points on the perimeters of concentric Laue circles around the center point.
		RHEED users rotate the sample to optimize the intensity profiles of patterns Users generally index at least 2 RHEED scans at different azimuth angles for reliable characterization of the crystal's surface structure.

		Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) is widely used as an in-situ characterization tool on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) due to its compatibility with the growth process.
		RHEED Setup: An accelerated electron beam (up to 50 keV) is incident on the surface with a glancing angle (< 3 deg) and is reflected.
		Upon reflection, electrons diffract, forming a diffraction pattern that depends on the structure and the morphology of the probed surface.

	Growth Monitoring Using RHEED - Introduction to RHEED (Site not responding. Last check: )
		RHEED is closely related to electron microscopy, but instead of passing an electron beam through a thin film RHEED employs an electron beam impinging on a sample at a grazing angle (typically about 1°) which is Bragg diffracted by the surface.
		RHEED is a very powerful method for surface studies due to the fact that the electron beam penetrates only about 2 or 3 monolayers deep into the lattice.
		Due to the fact that only the surface is probed by RHEED the reciprocal lattice will consists of lattice rods in the direction normal to the surface probed instead of discrete spots as in electron microscopy.

	An Introduction to RHEED - Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction
		A high energy beam (3-100keV) is directed at the sample surface at a grazing angle.
		If the surface has a rougher surface, the RHEED pattern is more diffuse.
		RHEED is therefore of particular use with MBE.

	Text of MIJ-NSR Volume 3, Article 12
		RHEED studies of the smooth-to-rough transition obtained in our growth system are shown in Figure 3.
		This pattern is believed to arise from kinetic roughening of the surface due to a limited Ga diffusion in the presence of excess nitrogen on the surface [9], an interpretation which is supported by recent computations indicating substantially reduced Ga diffusion rates on N-rich GaN surfaces [21].
		It is important to realize that the RHEED pattern from the surface of Figure 5 was streaky (similar to Figure 3(d)), even though the surface morphology is somewhat disordered and rough.

	physics - RHEED
		RHEED uses an electron gun and a fluorescent screen for creating pictures showing the structure and/or morphology of a crystal surface.
		In RHEED, the reciprocal lattice is 2-dimensional if the crystal is single crystalline and the surface is flat in nanometer scale.
		Pros of RHEED: Real-Time Analysis: RHEED is often used for monitoring crystal growth, as it doesn't block the direction vertical to the surface of the crystal, which is observed.

		RHEED intensities are calculated within the framework of the general matrix formulation of Peng and Whelan [1] under the one-beam condition.
		The dynamical diffraction calculations presented in this paper utilize the systematic reflection case in RHEED, in which the atomic potential in the planes parallel to the surface are projected on the surface normal, so that the results are insensitive to the atomic arrangement in the layers parallel to the surface.
		This model shows a systematic approximation in calculating dynamical RHEED intensities, and only a layer coverage factor for the n-th layer was taken into account in calculating the interaction potential between the fast electron and that layer.

	MBE Growth
		Considering that RHEED growth rates and optical parameters from the literature result in about a systematic 5% offset between measured and calculated thicknesses at room temperature, it is surprising that the measured and calculated results differ by less than 1% for this sample.
		RHEED can be used to determine the minimum amount of As required to maintain the proper stoichiometry by measuring the incorporation ratio.
		The observation of strong, persistent RHEED oscillations for the case of compressive strain [46] is consistent with the morphology observations and implies that the growth proceeds in a layer by layer mode under compressive strain.

	Growth of Fe on Fe(001) and Correlation with RHEED (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The most widely used technique to monitor MBE growth is reflection-high-energy-electron-diffraction (RHEED), in which a high energy (typically 10 keV to 30 keV) electron beam strikes a surface at grazing incidence and the resulting diffraction pattern is monitored.
		The decay of the RHEED intensity oscillations is correlated with the surface roughness which detailed measurements of the surface morphology at this temperature show increases monotonically with film thickness.
		Layer-by-layer growth is characterized by the RHEED intensity oscillations returning to nearly their initial intensity value with very little damping.

	APS - 2006 APS March Meeting - Event - On the Phase Shift of RHEED Intensity Oscillation during Homoepitaxy by MBE
		One of these issues is the phase shift of the RHEED intensity oscillations upon changing the incidence angle of electron beams.
		Therefore, we have conducted a systematic investigation of the phase shift of the RHEED intensity oscillations during homoepitaxy of Ge(001) by MBE for a wide range of diffraction conditions.
		The lesson that can be learned from our study is that in order to use the RHEED specular intensity oscillation to learn about surface morphology, one must be extremely careful that the RHEED measurements be conducted under conditions where the influence of the Kikuchi features is minimal.

	GaN Growth Investigations - Determining Growth Conditions using RHEED
		During the buildup of the first layer the intensity of the RHEED pattern drops sharply until the whole surface is covered with Ga. The remaining RHEED pattern intensity is due to Ga atoms residing longer at preferential sites given by the underlying crystalline GaN surface than in-between.
		In this situation the RHEED pattern intensity varies as shown in Figure 28a and Figure 29, decreasing upon opening of the Ga shutter by a fixed amount and remaining at that level until the shutter is closed again.
		It is suggested that the decrease in RHEED intensity is proportional to the fraction of Ga coverage of the GaN surface.

		The language of RHEED is very similar to that which may be familiar to you from THEED.
		As seen in diagram 67, the glancing angle geometry of RHEED means that the reciprocal lattice rods are closely parallel to the Ewald Sphere near the origin.
		The apparatus for RHEED can consist of a simple 5-20kV electrostatically focussed gun, for example to monitor the surface crystallography in an MBE experiment, where the glancing angle geometry has many practical advantages over LEED, especially in the ease of access around the sample.
