ATM, ISO and other standard and metrology measurements for surface analysis


EMSL Project ID
8221

Abstract

This activity involves extended that state of the art in surface analysis by expanding the understanding of equipment capability, testing new approaches to instrument calibration and operation, and understanding the limitations of measurement methods. Activities include measurements of electron and x-ray photon damage, developing methods control charge in XPS and AES, understanding impacts and details of probe measurements.
