AES Theory: Auger Depth Profiling
To analyze samples in depth, Auger instruments incorporate ion beam sputtering to remove material from the sample surface. One cycle of a typical depth profile consists of sputtering a small increment into the sample, stopping, measuring relevant portions of the Auger spectrum, and using the equation for elemental quantification.
