Researchers develop a new XPS technique enabling surface studies at atmospheric pressure, enhancing real-world chemical ...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is based on the same principle as all photoelectron spectroscopy methods. If a molecule or material is irradiated with light of a known energy above the ionization ...

The basic physical process of irradiating a material with photons of a known energy and measuring the ejected photoelectrons has remained unchanged over six decades since it was first commercialized.

Integrating XPS imaging in surface chemistry allows for detailed analysis of elemental distribution, crucial for improving ...

The initial oxidation behavior of metallic copper, tin, and three single-phase Cu-Sn alloys (an $\alpha$ phase solid solution alloy, and the intermetallic compounds ...

An X-ray photoelectron spectrometer is an impressive bit of kit. The relatively low energy of the detected photoelectrons dictates that the experiments are performed in ultra-high vacuum. The ...
