This book introduces readers interested in the field of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) to the practical concepts in this field. The book first introduces the reader to the language and concepts used in this field and then demonstrates how these concepts are applied. Including how the spectra are produced, factors that can influence the spectra (all initial and final state effects are discussed), how to derive speciation, volume analysed and how one controls this (includes depth profiling), and quantification along with background substraction and curve fitting methodologies. This is presented in a concise yet comprehensive manner and each section is prepared such that they can be read independently of each other, and all equations are presented using the most commonly used units. Greater emphasis has been placed on spectral understanding/interpretation. For completeness sake, a description of commonly used instrumentation is also presented. Finally, some complementary surface analytical techniques and associated concepts are reviewed for comparative purposes in stand-alone appendix sections.

Serves as a practical reference for those involved in Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) • Introduces SIMS along with the highly diverse fields (Chemistry, Physics, Geology and Biology) to it is applied using up to date illustrations • Introduces the accepted fundamentals and pertinent models associated with elemental and molecular sputtering and ion emission • Covers the theory and modes of operation of the instrumentation used in the various forms of SIMS (Static vs Dynamic vs Cluster ion SIMS) • Details how data collection/processing can be carried out, with an emphasis placed on how to recognize and avoid commonly occurring analysis induced distortions • Presented as concisely as believed possible with All sections prepared such that they can be read independently of each other

How to apply XPS and related techniques with real-world case studies X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has become the cornerstone technique for characterizing the composition and chemistry of solid surfaces. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy: An Introduction to Principles and Practices, Second Edition, delivers thoroughly revised coverage (along with two new chapters) reflecting significant advances since the first edition. Paul van der Heide, with decades of hands-on experience in surface analysis, guides readers from foundational concepts to practical applications. This starts with a prelude on the discovery of photoelectron emission to the impact of surface science. Hardware from both a components and system level are then introduced with a short foray into related techniques (such as HAXPES and NAP-XPS) along with what relates and differentiates XPS and PES. Topics included range from sample handling, methodology development, instrument operation, automation, quantification to data interpretation. This is tied up with a selection of lab, fab and synchrotron based case studies. Students through to practitioners in the areas of chemistry, physics, and/or material science will find this an authoritative resource for understanding and applying XPS and related techniques.
