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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
