Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) is an incredibly useful technique for probing material samples—but current assumptions about the process ignore some of the key time-dependent effects it involves. So ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Auger spectroscopy exploits the relaxation of a core‐ionised atom in a molecule, monitoring the energy of emitted electrons as one electron fills the vacancy and a second is ejected. This process ...

Transition metals and non-ferrous metals such as copper, nickel and cobalt are not only suitable as materials in engineering and technology, but also for a wide range of applications in ...

(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 ...
