A retrospective of surface science experiments performed at the NIST SURF-II synchrotron for the time period of 1980 to the early 1990's will be presented. The measurements that were performed during that time period included a range of photoemission and stimulated desorption studies of surfaces. Among the standards measurements, a technique was developed to measure quantitative electron mean-free paths in condensed molecular solids. Other studies that were conducted applied photoemission to evaluate the oxidation of metals and the adsorption of simple molecules on metals and oxides. Stimulated desorption was the focus of a number of other experiments from both metals and oxides and a collection of data from a range of these measurements will be presented.
