Abstract
Surface science has a wide range of instrumentation for analysis of the first few atomic layers in a surface. Some of these techniques are finding increasing use in the study of wear. They include scanning Auger spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering, Raman spectroscopy and ellipsometry. A technique which shows great potential involves in situ wear experiments in a scanning Auger chamber. The initial surface roughening and subsequent prow formation and shear-off have been studied in this manner.
