Comparisons of SIMS, SNMS, ISS, RBS, AES, and XPS Methods for Surface Compositional Analysis

  • Chapter
Ion Spectroscopies for Surface Analysis

Part of the book series: Methods of Surface Characterization ((MOSC,volume 2))

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to summarize and compare available information about the six major techniques for surface compositional analysis (SIMS, SNMS, ISS, RBS, AES, and XPS) in tabular form and in brief narratives. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the principles of these techniques. Detailed information on the ion spectroscopies (SIMS, SNMS, ISS, and RBS) is presented in earlier chapters of this volume; information on the electron spectroscopies can be found in the references given below and in a forthcoming volume of this series. Acronyms and abbreviations used in this chapter are defined in Chapter 1 of this volume.
