Jm. Guglielmacci et B. Gruzza, INFLUENCE OF THE SUBSTRATE CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ORIENTATION ON THE AUGER SIGNAL INTENSITY, Vacuum, 46(5-6), 1995, pp. 595-598
In this paper, we show that for a single crystal sample, the Auger sig
nal intensity depends on the atomic density of the crystalline plane e
xposed to the analysis. The theoretical approach, based on the Gallon
and on the Seah models, is well confirmed by experimental study carrie
d out during the growth of epitaxial gold films on palladium substrate
