AlKLL Auger Profile Artifact at the Oxide-Metal Interface

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The chemical combination effects on the Al<sub>KLL</sub> Auger N'(E) peak from the oxide vs the metal results in an artifact in the profile contour region representative of the oxide-metal interface. The cause of the artifact is related to the nature of derivative recording of Auger spectra and the influence of peak shape changes because of a changing chemical environment. The artifact results in the misleading interpretation of a depletion of Al at the interface. To avoid this problem the N'(E) spectrum is integrated and N(E) peak heights are used to construct the profile.
