Abstract: | The accurate determination of the kinetic energy of X-ray induced Auger electrons, which is necessary in XPS experiments, e.g. for calculating the Auger parameter, is sometimes hampered by peak interferences or by the high secondary electron background. The latter is of special importance for low kinetic energy electrons like e.g. the U(OPV) and U(OVV) Auger electrons. These problems can be circumvented by using electron induced Auger transitions (AES). However, since XPS and AES use different reference points for the energy scales, both scales have to be matched. This can be done by measuring the kinetic energy of an appropriate Auger transition in XPS and relating this value to the maximum of the second derivative of the same peak in AES. |
