Description (English):

This document specifies a method for calibrating the kinetic energy scales of Auger electron spectrometers with an uncertainty of 3 eV, for general analytical use in identifying elements at surfaces. This document also specifies a method for establishing a calibration schedule. It is applicable to instruments used in either direct or differential mode, where the resolution is less than or equal to 0,5 % and the modulation amplitude for the differential mode, if used, is 2 eV peak-to-peak. It is applicable to those spectrometers equipped with an inert gas ion gun or other method for sample cleaning and with an electron gun capable of operating at 4 keV or higher beam energy.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 17973:2024 specifies a practical method to calibrate the kinetic energy scales of medium‑resolution Auger electron spectrometers (AES) for elemental surface analysis. The standard targets routine analytical use with an energy uncertainty of 3 eV and defines procedures to establish and maintain a calibration schedule. It applies to instruments operating in direct or differential mode with resolution ≤ 0.5% and, for differential mode, a modulation amplitude of 2 eV peak‑to‑peak. Instruments must be equipped with an inert gas ion gun (or equivalent) for sample cleaning and an electron gun capable of ≥ 4 keV beam energy.

Key topics and requirements

Calibration accuracy: Kinetic energy scale calibrated to an uncertainty of 3 eV for elemental identification.
Reference materials: Use polycrystalline metal foils - Cu plus Au (preferred for high SNR and scans to 2 100 eV) or Cu plus Al (for lower SNR or limited scan range). Typical foils: ≥ 99.8% purity, ~10 × 10 mm, 0.1–0.2 mm thick.
Sample preparation & mounting:
- Clean by ion sputtering until oxygen and carbon peaks are each
