During this work experimental apparatus were implemented for a complete LEED set-up. A new vacuum system was also set up. This was composed of a mechanical pump, turbomolecular pump and ionic pump for ultra-high vacuum and their respective pressure measurement sensors (Pirani gauge for low vacuum measures and the wide range gauge -WRG); ion cannon maintenance, which is basically mini-sputtering, whose function is sample cleaning; and set-up, maintenance and handling of the quadrupole mass spectrometer, whose main purpose is to investigate gas contamination inside the ultra-high vacuum chamber. It should be pointed out that the main contribution of this Master's thesis was the set-up of the sample heating system; that is, a new sample holder. In addition to the function of sample holder and heater, it was necessary to implement the function of sustaining the ultra-high vacuum environment. This set of actions is essential for the complete functioning of the LEED technique / O objetivo deste trabalho ? descrever a implementa??o da t?cnica de Difra??o de el?trons de Baixa Energia (Low Energy Electron Diffaction - LEED) no Laborat?rio de Nanoestruturas Magn?ticas e Semicondutoras do Departamento de F?sica Te?rica e Experimental da UFRN. Ao longo deste trabalho, foram realizadas implementa??es de aparatos experimentais para a completa montagem do LEED. Um novo sistema de v?cuo foi montado, este ? composto pela bomba mec?nica, bomba turbomolecular e bomba i?nica para ultra alto v?cuo e seus respectivos sensores de medidas de press?o (medidor Pirani, para medidas de baixo v?cuo e o medidor de alcance amplo WRG); manuten??o do canh?o de ions, que ? basicamente um mini-sputtering, com fun??o de limpeza das amostras; montagem, manuten??o e manuseio do espectr?metro de massa por quadrupolo, cuja finalidade principal ? investigar a contamina??o gasosa no interior da c?mara de ultra alto v?cuo. Destaque-se, que a principal contribui??o deste trabalho foi a montagem do sistema de aquecimento da amostra, ou seja, um novo porta-amostra. Neste al?m da fun??o de porta-amostra e aquecedor, foi necess?rio implementar a fun??o de sustenta??o no ambiente de ultra-alto v?cuo. Esse conjunto de a??es ? fundamental para o funcionamento completo da t?cnica LEED
