This project focuses on surface-sensitive experimental techniques directed towards ceramics. The project will prepare a comparative and critical survey of XPS, AES, SIMS (and possibly RBS) in relation to a variety of ceramics problems -- many arising because ceramics are electrical insulators -- and include recommended experimental procedures. This work will be particularly useful to industrial users and processors of advanced ceramic materials. It needs a group of people and is not feasible for a single research group; it appears an appropriate activity for IUPAC.
The coordinator has recruited two primary contributors. They will
prepare a draft manuscript for Commission review at Ljubljana.
