Determination of Surface Composition by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Taking into Account Elastic Photoelectron Collisions

Determination of surface composition by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy taking into account elastic photoelectron collisions.

It is now well known that elastic photoelectron scattering in the surface region of solids cannot be ignored in the mathematical formalism of quantitative XPS. Elastic collisions may increase or decrease the photoelectron signal intensity, depending on the experimental configuration. Consequently, it is advisable to take into account these effects in calculations of the surface composition. In ...

Surface Characterization of Carbon Materials by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Surface physicochemical properties are sensitive to preparation techniques, including physical and chemical treatments. Thus, surface treatments could induce significant changes in the surface modification of several materials. From its earliest days, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was widely used as a powerful tool for understanding the nature of many different types of surfaces. Over ...
