A 10 monolayers thick layer of Ag is deposited on Mo. The intensity of electrons emitted by the Ag and Mo can be measured separately. The ratio IAg/IMoi =100 for the deposited film. The mean free path of the electrons is 0.6 nm and the thickness of one layer is 0.18 nm. After heating the sample, the Ag layer has agglomerated in islands that cover a fraction q of the surface. Between the islands the Mo is “visible”. The intensity ratio after agglomeration is IAg/IMof = 1. Calculate the sensitivity of the electron spectroscopy technique for Ag with respect to Mo. I.e. how many electrons are emitted from one layer of Ag atoms compared to one layer of Mo atoms. And use this to determine what fraction of the surface is covered by islands?
