Herein, we report the construction of a Wagner chemical state plot for beryllium containing the following: metallic, oxide, nitride and carbide forms of beryllium by combining electron beam‐induced AES and XPS data. AES and XPS values were collected from metallic beryllium mechanically abraded in vacuum, bulk and native beryllium oxide and homogeneous secondary‐phase beryllium nitride and beryllium carbide inclusions. XPS data for beryllium nitride and carbide were obtained from the literature. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
