In order to predict how a material will react or to understand how it has reacted to a given chemical environment, surface-sensitive analytical techniques must be utilized. One such technique is X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), also known as electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). XPS exploits the nanometer-scale path length of electron photoemission in solids to reveal information about a sample’s surface composition and chemistry. This webinar provides a brief overview of the underlying theory of XPS and demonstrates a variety of analyses that can be performed using the technique, including compositional depth profiling and chemical state characterization using our ThermoFisher Scientific NEXSA instrument.
