Abstract
Abstract Chemical state analysis of Sn–Sb–O solid surfaces was performed by means of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Differential and numerically integrated AE spectra were curve-fitted using standard spectra obtained from pure substances. The fitting revealed, for the first time, the possibility of differentiating two antimony oxide components, Sb(III) and Sb(V), by AES. Using the AE spectral parameters obtained for these two chemical states, a correlation between the Sb AE peak positions and the average Sb oxidation number was constructed and it was applied for the determination of the average Sb oxidation state in Sn–Sb mixed oxide systems.
