Results for tag: "X Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy"

X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is a type of optoelectronic technology used to analyze the chemical composition of a sample. It works by bombarding the sample with X-rays, which causes electrons to be emitted from the sample's surface. These electrons are then analyzed to determine the elemental composition of the sample. XPS is used in a variety of industries, including semiconductor manufacturing, materials science, and environmental monitoring. XPS is a powerful tool for characterizing the surface of a sample, as it can provide information on the chemical composition, chemical state, and electronic structure of the sample. It is also used to measure the thickness of thin films, as well as to study the surface chemistry of a sample. XPS is often used in combination with other techniques, such as Auger electron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry, to provide a more comprehensive analysis of a sample. XPS is a rapidly growing market, with many companies offering XPS systems and services. Examples of companies in the XPS market include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Kratos Analytical, and ULVAC Technologies. Show Less Read more
