Klappentext

The essential reference on X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and its practical applications

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy represents the most heavily used of the electron spectroscopies for surface analysis. This book serves as a definitive introduction to this field by providing concise yet comprehensive coverage of all key concepts and then supplying relevant, illuminating examples of real-world applications.

Placing an emphasis on spectral understanding and interpretation, the book includes coverage of topics including: how to interpret the different spectra revealed by XPS; how they are produced and factors that can influence the spectra (including initial and final state effects); as well as how to derive speciation, volume analyzed and how to control this (including depth profiling), along with background substraction and curve-fitting methodologies. With each section standing alone, the text can be read from front to back or treated as a comprehensive resource that researchers, developers, and technicians of all levels can access as needed.

Including review questions to help readers measure their comprehension of the material, as well as a comparative review of some complementary surface analytical techniques and associated concepts, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy is designed to enhance understanding of this rapidly growing field.
