  1. The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas (USA)
A review is given on the results of PAES (positron annihilation induced Auger Electron Spectroscopy) studies to data, with a concentration on those results obtained at the University of Texas at Arlington. Low energy positions, trapped in a surface localized state annihilate with core electrons resulting in the emission of Auger electrons. The advantages of PEAS include: (i) the elimination of the very large secondary electron background, and (ii) increased surface selectivity. (AIP)
