AES is more sensitive than XPS because of which of the following factors?
A. Binding energies of electrons
B. Kinetic energies of electrons
C. Mass of electrons
D. Mass to charge ratio of electrons
Answer:B
AES is more sensitive than XPS because of which of the following factors?
A. Binding energies of electrons B. Kinetic energies of electrons C. Mass of electrons D. Mass to charge ratio of electrons
Explanation: AES is more sensitive than XPS because of the difference in kinetic energies of electrons. Ion etching is sometimes necessary for AES.
