What Does AES Stand For?
AES stands for Auger Electron Spectroscopy
AES, or Auger Electron Spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to study the composition and electronic states of the surface of solid materials. By measuring the energy and intensity of Auger electrons emitted from a sample upon excitation, AES provides detailed information about elemental composition, chemical bonding, and surface dynamics at a nanometer scale. This technique is widely employed in materials science, surface engineering, and semiconductor research for its high spatial resolution and sensitivity to surface phenomena.
