Abstract

The Auger spectra of the iron oxides have been investigated. The relative amplitudes of the Auger lines from oxygen and iron have been determined for FeO, Fe₃O₄, α-Fe₂O₃, γ-Fe₂O₃, and FeOOH. It was found that the amplitude ratio s of the O (510 eV)/Fe (703 eV) lines was, to a first approximation, directly proportional to the ratio of oxygen and iron in the chemical formula. Structure was observed in the spectra resulting from the Fe M_2,3 VV transition. Different spectra were observed for Fe, FeO, Fe₃O₄, Fe₃O₃, and FeOOH; however, the same spectra were obtained for α- and γ-Fe₂O₃.
