What Does AEAPS Stand For?

AEAPS stands for Auger Electron Appearance Potential Spectroscopy

AEAPS, or Auger Electron Appearance Potential Spectroscopy, is a surface-sensitive analytical technique that involves the measurement of the appearance potential of Auger electrons emitted from a material. This method enables the characterization of the electronic structure and chemical composition of surfaces and near-surface regions by analyzing the energy thresholds at which Auger electrons are detected. AEAPS is particularly valuable in materials science and surface chemistry for studying thin films, catalysts, and semiconductor interfaces.
