- The components of the general set-up have been used in previous articles. Therefore details can be found in mesoscopic modules. In this module, a brief overview is given for the sake of coherence.
- The microscopic, article-dependent details are provided here. The size of the slit varies in the course of the corpus and is therefore microscopic information. This type of detector and its energy dependence have been discussed before. Therefore all details can be found in the mesoscopic module. The sample and the pressure within the collision chamber vary in the course of the corpus and are therefore microscopic information.
- The components aggregate into the set-up as a whole. Therefore, the links provided in this module to components of the mesoscopic module MESO-m3a are typed with the inverse of aggregation: 'is segregated in' (see the definition of the content relations).
- This module corresponds quite closely to the section 2.Experimental (see pages 65 and 66 of the original article.
- The methods modules are relatively small (w.rt. the results and especially the interpretation). However, is the case because most of the information on the experimental methods is general and presented in mesoscopic modules.
- In the original two articles by the same group (Moutinho and Politiek) that are not part of the corpus are cited. These references have been replaced by references to mesoscopic modules Experimental Methods, `MESO-m3a-sputt' and `MESO-m3a-surf' about the sputtering source and surface ionisation detection.
- Part of the Experimental Methods is the measurement, i.e. the usage of the set-up: what is measured (sample) at what energy range, at what pressure etc.
- The sources of errors are supposed to be linked to the error discussion in the Results module, where the impact of the errors that occur in the methods and tools on the final results is determined. The discussion of the apparatus however seems to be incomplete in A05 - the results refer to `apparatus effects' in general, rather than specific restrictions.
- We have included another in this demo version of this module, in which the text is coded typographically, to indicate text supplied manually, rephrased text and text overlapping with other modules. In the printable version of the modules of A05, we have done so for every module. Here, only for a few.
