Evaluation of the analytical potential of auger electron spectrometry in atmospheric analyses
thesis
posted on 2018-10-05, 08:41 authored by Gerald N. KilloranThe scope of this study into the analytical potential of
gas phase Auger electron spectrometry (AES) is defined, and its
relation to the work previously conducted at the University of
Technology, Loughborough on this topic is shown.
The vacuum generators AFM2 gas phase Auger electron
spectrometer is described in detail, this includes a discussion
of maintenance and fault-finding. Detailed operating instructions
based on the manufacturer's manual and the author's experience,
are included. The theoretical and experimental aspects of the
operational parameters of the electron gun, analyser, detector,
sample introduction system, and the recording system are given.
The choice of parameter values for the optimal performance of the
instrument are discussed. [Abstract.]
