Real time photoelectron spectroscopy tracks the transition of thin metallic films from disorder to order. The desire to build devices and structures at nanometre scales poses challenges not only for ...
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 ...
Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a surface-sensitive analytical technique that provides information about the elemental composition, chemical state, and electronic structure of a material's surface ...
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.
The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a pivotal role in governing the performance and stability of lithium (Li) batteries. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful technique for ...
For the first time, and contrary to popular belief, scientists measured the vibrational structure of hydrogen and helium atoms by X-rays. The results disprove the misconception that it’s impossible to ...
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 ...
New research shows that X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) can give misleading analysis results due to an erroneous assumption during calibration. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is often ...
