X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (also known as XPS and originally as ESCA), has become one of the most prevalent and useful techniques for surface analysis since the introduction of commercially available instrumentation beginning in the 1960s.\u00a0 XPS is a UHV surface analysis technique that provides quantifiable elemental and chemical state information from the top 20 to 100 angstroms of surfaces.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s modern XPS systems use monochromatic aluminum X-rays and include the ability to produce real time XPS elemental images with spatial resolution in the range of a few microns.\u00a0 If you need an XPS system for your research or production testing and can\u2019t afford the $500K to over $1M for a new XPS system, RBD Instruments is your headquarters for refurbished Physical Electronics XPS systems and components.\u00a0 Contact us for more information.<\/a><\/p>\n

Below I have listed a number of links to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy tutorials. They are in no particular order. Collectively, these tutorials provide an in-depth overview of the history, theory and applications for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.<\/p>\n

Here is new link to an XPS data knowledge base (and a wealth of information on XPS) from Vincent Crist at The XPS library\u00a0 – https:\/\/xpslibrary.com\/library-membership\/<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Please support The XPS Library with your donation!<\/p>\n
