Secondary phase particles of beryllium nitride and beryllium carbide in beryllium were analyzed by Auger Electron Spectroscopy. Survey spectra as well as high resolution Be KLL, N KLL and C KLL transitions were collected and are presented. The primary beryllium KLL Auger transitions for the nitride and carbide were recorded at 96.7 and 100.4 eV respectively. The homogeneity and composition of the secondary phase particles was confirmed by energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy.
