What Does AES Stand For?
AES stands for Auger Emission Spectroscopy
AES, or Auger Emission Spectroscopy, is a surface-sensitive analytical technique used to identify the elemental composition of materials at the nanometer scale. It operates on the principle of detecting Auger electrons emitted from atoms in a sample after being excited by incident photons or electrons. AES is particularly valuable in materials science, semiconductor research, and nanotechnology due to its ability to provide information about surface layers and chemical states without the need for extensive sample preparation.
