Auger electron spectroscopy is a surface-sensitive analytical technique that uses the emission of Auger electrons to identify and quantify elements in the top few nanometers of a material's surface. It works by exciting atoms with an electron beam and measuring the energy of the released electrons, providing detailed compositional insights crucial for materials research. This method stands out for its ability to detect light elements and impurities that bulk techniques might overlook, making it a go-to tool in modern nanotechnology.
