XPS is a powerful surface analysis technique for the detection of elements and variations in chemical compositions and oxidation states. Subtle changes in peak positions and shapes can yield important information on changes in surface chemistry.
Features
- Micro-focused X-Ray monochromater with 10um minimum analysis area
- Automated Ion Scattering Spectroscopy (ISS) for ultra sensitive surface analysis
- Automated Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS) for valence band analysis
- Reflected Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS)
- Charge neutralization through a combined low-energy electron/ion flood source
- Monatomic & Gas Cluster Ion Source (MAGCIS) for depth profiling of both hard and soft materials
- Sample stages for tilt, heating, and vacuum transfer
Specifications
