History Of The Auger spectroscopy
Lise Meitner Pierre Auger

The Auger Process
K
L
M
Vacuum Level
Eject core electron
Higher electronfalls into hole
Another higher level electron is ejected to carry away excess energy.
Measure kinetic energy of ejected electron.
IncidentElectronBeam (5 kV)
Ekinetic = E(K) - E(L) - E(L)

KE of Auger electron ~ -EA – EB
EC
Emitted energy of relaxed electron
Energy needed to overcome BE of Auger electron
NOTE: KE of Auger electron is not proportional to the primary beam energy
Different from XPS

KLM
Source of auger electron
Origin of relaxing electron
Initial core hole
Four main Auger series:KLL, LMM, MNN, NOO
As the atomic number increases,the number possible electron transfers are also high.

In addition, the entire system must be shielded from the earth’s magnetic field

•The primary electron beam is focussed on the surface and scanned (similarly to SEM).
•At each point (pixel), an Auger spectrum is recorded.
•Peaks that correspond to a specific element are indentified and their intensity measured.
•A colour is assigned to each element
•The brightness of colour at each pixel is proportional to the intensity of the corresponding Auger peak.
•Result: multicoloured images as chemical element maps.
