SOFT X-RAY MICROCHARACTERIZATION BEAMLINE

High Energy XPS

High Energy X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

  Available

By setting the beamline to varying energies, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) can be performed at different depths on the same sample, providing information on both surface and bulk properties of the material.

Capabilities

  • Ultra high vacuum
  • Motorized sample stage
  • Bulk Sensitive
  • By changing the beam energy from 1.7 to 9.0 keV, users are able Capable of profiling samples from the surface up to 10-20 nm deep (depending on the elements in the sample) by changing the beam energy from 1.7 to 9.0 keV
  • Monitoring the growth of thin films using RHEED system
  • Auger yield

Samples

  • Powders
  • Bulk Samples
  • Foils
  • Thin Films 

Specification

  • Beam Energy: 1.7 - 9.0 keV
