We propose the formation of LEED patterns using a highly convergent
beam forming a probe of nanometer dimensions. A reflection rocking
curve may then be recorded in many diffraction orders simultaneously.
Multiple scattering calculations show that the intensity variations
within these rocking curves is as sensitive to the parameters
describing the surface dipole layer as conventional I/V scans.
However the data may be collected from areas sufficiently small to
avoid defects and surface steps, radiation damage controlled by use of
low voltages, and the information depth selected by choice of the
(constant) voltage. We briefly discuss also the application of this
method to oxides and the formation of atomic-resolution scanning images
in an idealized instrument in which coherent diffracted LEED orders
overlap.
