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 ...

A laboratory study on one graphite anode found that simulated charge neutralization during XPS shifted fluorine-, phosphorus- ...

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 ...

Using ultrashort light pulses, researchers tracked energy redistribution and molecular motion in acetylacetone. The method ...

Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) has become an indispensable tool for elucidating the electronic structure of gas-phase anionic complexes. By irradiating size-selected negative ions with monochromatic ...

Faster, more efficient, and more versatile—these are the expectations for the technology that will produce our energy and handle information in the future. But how can these expectations be met? A ...

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.

A new momentum microscopy experimental station for photoelectron spectroscopy resolved in 3D momentum space with a microscopic field of view has been built at BL6U of UVSOR *, Institute for Molecular ...

X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful surface-analytical technique that exploits the photoelectric effect to probe the elemental composition, chemical states and electronic environments ...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is often used to determine the chemical composition of materials. It was developed in the 1960s and is accepted as a standard method in materials science.

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 ...
