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 ...

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 ...

Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are multiple quantum well (QW) structures formed by alternating inorganic and organic layers. They are promising in applications of solar cells, LEDs, and ...

(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 ...

In an Auger process, the energy released when an electron from a higher energy level falls into a deeper level results in the emission of an energetic electron whose energy is characteristic of the ...

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 ...

Temporal diagnostics of free-electron laser (FEL) pulses, also applicable for the arrival time jitter measurements in X-ray pump-optical probe experiments, is now widely used at FEL facilities 1,2,3.

Jitter free: artistic depiction of a self-referencing attosecond streaking experiment. The inherent delay between the emission of the two types of electron leads to a characteristic ellipse in the ...
