摘要：

We report an experimental setup of the ballistic-electron-emission microscope (BEEM) that is applicable to the study of thin free-standing metal films and metal-vacuum interfaces. We have used the technique to obtain spatially averaged BEEM spectra of thin free-standing gold films. Using such a spectrum, we obtained a rather coarse value of the work function for gold, which is compatible with some other reported values. © 1994 The American Physical Society.
