Abstract
An overview of the use of electron spectroscopy for the study of the physicochemical properties of solids is carried out. It is noted that the main source of information about the electronic states of atoms is the energy distribution of electrons excited by ions, X-ray quanta, and laser beams. The paper briefly discusses the problems that exist in registering the spectra of secondary electrons obtained by exciting the surface of samples with electrons of medium (1–20 keV) energies and ways to solve these problems in order to increase the information content and accuracy of research results. A method for recording secondary electron spectra in an integral form using an Auger spectrometer is proposed, which allows one to increase the energy resolution of the method. The possibilities of the method are demonstrated by the example of experimental studies of zirconium carbide and steel X17AG18.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques publishes original articles on the topical problems of solid-state physics, materials science, experimental techniques, condensed media, nanostructures, surfaces of thin films, and phase boundaries: geometric and energetical structures of surfaces, the methods of computer simulations; physical and chemical properties and their changes upon radiation and other treatments; the methods of studies of films and surface layers of crystals (XRD, XPS, synchrotron radiation, neutron and electron diffraction, electron microscopic, scanning tunneling microscopic, atomic force microscopic studies, and other methods that provide data on the surfaces and thin films). Articles related to the methods and technics of structure studies are the focus of the journal. The journal accepts manuscripts of regular articles and reviews in English or Russian language from authors of all countries. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
