CMSE's Shared Experimental Facilities include several useful tools for looking at the structure and chemical composition of solid surfaces with a sampling depth of a few atomic layers. This course is a general introduction to three of these techniques: Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). We will summarize how each technique works, its strengths and limitations, and some of the research questions these methods help to answer.
