The process begins with the absorption of X-ray photons by atoms in the material, leading to the ejection of photoelectrons. By analyzing the energy spectrum of these photoelectrons, information about ...

Research demonstrates that the addition of certain dopants could improve a solid electrolyte’s interaction with a ...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is a common surface analysis method because it can be used on a wide variety of materials and supplies valuable quantitative and chemical data. X-ray photoelectron ...

The PHI 5800 X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) is equipped with a dual source anode (Al and Mg), a hemispherical analyzer for XPS and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) analysis, including ...

A research team comprising members from the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tohoku University, and the ...

Conservators use polymer coatings to preserve iron artifacts by keeping out moisture and oxygen to prevent corrosion. But a recent study suggests that as they age, such coatings may trigger a cycle of ...

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is one of the most popular surface analysis methods because it can be used on a broad range of materials and it supplies highly useful chemical data on the ...

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)is a highly sensitive technique for identifying and quantifying the chemical states of elements on the outermost surface of a solid. It is especially useful for ...
