Uses of Auger and x ray photoelectron spectroscopy in the study of adhesion and friction

摘要: Three studies are described characterizing the possible contributions of surface science to tribology. These include contamination formed by interaction a with environment, contaminants obtained diffusion compounds, and chemical changes resulting from selective thermal evaporation. Surface analytical tools such as Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) x ray photoelectron (XPS) incorporated directly into adhesion friction systems primarily used define nature tribological surfaces before after experimentation characterize mechanism solid-to-solid interaction. Emphasis is on fundamental involving role in controlling properties materials emerging result analyses. The which were studied metals ceramics elemental metals, amorphous alloys (metallic glasses), silicon-based ceramics.
