2. Auger spectromicroscopy applications
With the advent of ultra-high vacuum, surface science was born of the combination of slow electron diffraction and Auger spectroscopy in a single instrument. Indeed, as early as the 1960s-70s, using the instrument shown in [ ] (figure 7 a), it was possible to simultaneously obtain the crystallography of the surface (regular distribution of atoms on the faces of a single crystal) and the elemental chemical nature of the foreign species that could be deposited there either as a result of thermal treatments (diffusion of impurities), or by condensation...

Manufacturers, constructors
(non-exhaustive list)
There are a significant number of manufacturers of accessories (electron and ion guns, analyzers, UV chambers, etc.) which are not mentioned here. The same applies to firms supplying ESCA, mixed ESCA-Auger or LEED-Auger (and not specifically Auger-SAM) spectroscopy equipment. The following list is not exhaustive.
