Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a complete and novel method of chemical analysis making use of the associated Auger transitions and finding the modified Auger parameters of concerned samples is proposed. But the analysis seems to provide means to identify intricate chemical phases, which are quite tricky to conclude from other analytical experiments.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the ambiguous and misleading view that the Fe 3p spectrum of (paramagnetic) iron oxides involves a single peak was pointed out, and it was also stressed the fact that such a spectrum involves high-binding-energy satellites, the intensity of which should be considered as part of the true, total intensity of the Fe3p transition in view of quantitative purposes.
