Figure 2: AES characterization of silica nanoribbons.
From: Grassy Silica Nanoribbons and Strong Blue Luminescence
(a) Scanning secondary electron image of the sample, showing the locations of AES spectra acquiring area. (b) Differential AES spectra acquired at positions “1”, “2” and “3” marked in (a). (c) Scanning secondary electron image of the sample, showing the locations of AES mapping. (d) Si LVV Auger electron map acquired in (c). (e) O KLL Auger electron map acquired in (c). The oval in (c) marks movement of the nanoribbon under electron-beam as compared to the positions observed in (d,e).
