While there are a number of techniques available for profiling surface structures, like scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, the advantage Auger spectroscopy has for ...

What is Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES)? Analyzing the features of various types of substrates involves the application of the essential analytical technique known as Auger Electron Spectroscopy ...

AES operates on the principle of the Auger effect, named after the French physicist Pierre Auger. When a material's surface is bombarded with a beam of high-energy electrons or photons, it causes the ...

(Nanowerk News) A new computational approach makes more realistic assumptions about the redistribution of energy during the Auger process, improving the accuracy of Auger electron spectroscopy. Auger ...

Auger electron spectroscopy is a well-established surface-sensitive technique. It has been mostly used for the identification of species on sample surfaces, especially to monitor the process of sample ...

Due to a strong overlap between the N 1s core line and the Ga LMM Auger series, GaN is one of many materials that present problems when analysis is attempted with the traditional Al Kα excited X-ray ...

Defects often limit the performance of devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The mechanisms by which defects annihilate charge carriers are well understood in materials that emit light at red ...
