Explores beam-matter interactions, focusing on emission phenomena from core electron ionization by X-Rays and electrons, and the competition between Auger and X-Rays emissions.
Covers X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrometry (XPS), a surface analysis technique developed by Kai Siegbahn, explaining its components, mechanism, and analysis methods.
Covers X-Ray Micro-Analysis (XRMA) comparing techniques for analyzing matter with electron beams, discussing interaction volume, emission, fluorescence, and matrix effects.
Covers the principles of Scanning Electron Microscopy, including SEM signals, detectors, and energy spectrum of electrons, as well as the efficiency of X-ray generation.
