far not limited to) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS/ESCA), ion
scattering spectroscopy (ISS), high-resolution scanning Auger
microscopy (SAM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission
electron microscopy (TEM), secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS)
and time-of-flight SIMS (ToFSIMS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy
(EDS),
wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (WDS), infrared
spectroscopy/microscopy (IR/MIR/FTIR), ultraviolet/visible/near
infrared spectroscopy (UV/VIS/NIR), residual gas analysis (RGA),
metallography, light microscopy (LM), microtomy, gas chromatography
(GC), thermal analysis (DSC/DTA/TGA), physical testing
(tensile/shear/etc.) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
