Auger electron spectroscopy (AES; pronounced [oʒe] in French) is a common analytical technique used specifically in the study of surfaces and, more generally, in the area of materials science. It is a form of electron spectroscopy that relies on the Auger effect, based on the analysis of energetic electrons emitted …
Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) is used to determine the elemental composition and, in many cases, the chemical state of the atoms in the surface region of a solid, vacuum stable, not insulating material. AES has found widespread use in an extensive variety of materials applications, especially those requiring surface specificity …
