Abstract
An Auger electron spectrometer for studies of solid surfaces which is considerably more sensitive than currently used instruments has been developed. The greatly improved signal‐to‐noise ratio of the spectrometer made it possible to display the 0–1000 eV Auger spectrum on an oscilloscope at a scanning rate of 20 000 V/sec. Alternatively, the scanning rate may be reduced to that typical of present instruments (∼2 V/sec) and the primary beam current reduced from 5 × 10−5 to 10−8 A.Keywords
