Auger electron spectroscopy : practical application to materials analysis and characterization of surfaces, interfaces, and thin films /

Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) is capable of providing elemental composition and, in some restricted cases, chemical bonding information for the elements present near the surface of solid materials. The surface specificity of this technique is such that only atoms in the top 5 to 10 nm are detect...
