At the new positron source NEPOMUC at the FRM-II in Munich a low-energy (15eV) positron beam with an intensity of 107-108 moderated positrons per second is available. This enables positron annihilation induced Auger electron spectroscopy (PAES) within a short measurement time (few hours/spectrum). Up to now qualitative PAES measurements of Au on Cu have been performed to show the feasibility of this technique.
At present, Au covered single crystals of Cu and Si are prepared in order to determine the sensitivity of this technique quantitatively. For this purpose, the thickness of the Au layer is even chosen in the sub-monolayer range (0.1 ML-10 ML). For the analysis of the spectra besides the layer thickness of the adsorbed material its positron affinity (A+) as well as the A+ of the substrates has to be taken into account. Therefore the systems Au/Si and Au/Cu were chosen, since the A+ of Si (A+,Si= -6,95) is similar to the A+ of Au (A+,Au= -6,30), whereas in the latter system the A+ of the Cu substrate is much larger (A+,Cu= -4,57) than A+,Au. The results of the measurements are always compared with conventional AES.
