Alloys Auger parameter shifts

Alloy-metal Auger parameter shifts were obtained from the measured Auger kinetic and photoelectron binding energies using the definition given by Williams and Lang [12] ...

Data Analysis. Data analysis is, of course, directly related to data acquisition. However, not all good data is or can be completely analyzed. For example, McIntyre (J5) has observed that "a broad base in chemical shift data has been slow in developing" for XPS data. Until such a data base existed, it was difficult for both expert and non-expert to interpret spectra from corrosion products, particularly on complex alloys. The Handbook of X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (27) and collections of Auger parameter data (32 ) are examples of data compilations very useful to a researcher trying to interpret measurements of corrosion products.
