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 ...

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 ...
