X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Image

Thermo ESCALAB 250Xi (General Facility Project No: GS 01/05)

Features

• XPS, UPS, ISS and imaging techniques.

• Depth profile, in situ reduction experiments (high pressure gas cell) and heating experiments up to 500°C.

• Monchromated Al Kα - X ray source with a spot size ranging from 200 - 850µm.

• Twin anode (Al and Mg) non-monochromated X ray source.

Applications

• Characterization of solid state materials.

• XPS: Possible to detect all elements except hydrogen and helium. Provides composition, approximate chemical formula, electronic and chemical state, binding energy, etc.

• UPS: Used to study the valence region of constituent elements, electronic states in the band gap, density of states near Fermi level etc.

• ISS: Detect elements on the surface (less than 1nm)
