Abstract

The Auger electron spectra for titanium carbide are presented. The first derivative Auger electron spectrum for the C KLL line is characteristic of a carbide. The differentiated C KLL peak contains three components present at the approximate kinetic energies of 250, 260, and 270 eV, with the peak at 270 eV having a greater intensity in the positive direction than adventitious hydrocarbon. The unique shape of the differentiated C KLL Auger peak can be used to identify this carbide compound.
