Abstract: | Depth profiling has been performed by using Auger electron spectrometry (AES) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS)
in combination with Ar-ion sputtering. The data obtained by both surface-analytical methods have been evaluated by means of
factor analysis and afterwards by applying an artificial neural network or fuzzy clustering in order to determine the compositional
layering of different samples such as a Cr2O3/CrN sandwich layer, tarnish layers on a nickel based alloy and on steel, and the coating of a Si3N4 ceramic powder. The applied artificial neural network was a Kohonen network. It turned out that the method of fuzzy c-means
clustering was more successful than Kohonen network due to the fact that fuzzy c-means clustering starts with more input information
which can be obtained from factor analysis. |
