Notes:
Auger spectra from highly samples (Al2O3, Si3N4) are collected in a gaseous environment. It is demonstrated that the build-up of negative surface charge can be reduced considerably under suitable conditions. It is proposed that the decharging of the surface is initiated by Auger neutralization of the ions formed in the gaseous environment in collisions with the primary keV electrons.
