Analysis of Grain‐Boundary Impurities and Fluoride Additives in Hot‐Pressed Oxides by Auger Electron Spectroscopy

Abstract
Auger electron spectroscopy was used to characterize grain‐boundary chemistry in MgO, Al2O3, and MgAl2O4 (spinel) hot‐pressed with LiF or NaF. The presence of additives (F, Na) at the grain boundaries was confirmed; observation of grain‐boundary impurities in MgO extends previous studies.
