Title: Auger Spectroscopy as a Probe of Valence Bonds and Bands
Abstract: For almost a decade now, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) has been utilized as a technique for elemental identification and trace analysis at the surface of solids [2.1]. Indeed over these years AES has become a widely available and almost indispensable technique for determining surface cleanliness, surface coverage, and even depth profiling. More recently, the Auger lineshape has been recognized as a source of chemical and electronic structure information. Just how this information can be extracted from the Auger lineshape requires a thorough understanding of the factors contributing to the Auger process. This review will examine several of these factors.
