This webinar will review the basic principles of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) as needed to appreciate two new important advancements – Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES) and near-ambient pressure XPS (NAP-XPS). In the case of HAXPES, advancements in higher energy X-ray sources now allow small laboratory systems to be used for analysis that historically only has been done on synchrotron beamlines. Similarly, NAP-XPS allows the historically ultra-high-vacuum XPS method to be applied to realistic conditions that are important to many functional materials, such as gaseous or liquid atmospheres. The webinar will present instrumentation and applications of the HAXPES and NAP-XPS methods, as well as discuss limitations and challenges of these rapidly advancing techniques.

Who Should Attend

Laboratory managers, scientists, engineers, technicians, and students who desire an understanding of current XPS technologies at the forefront of their development. Many users of XPS will benefit from the course – from novices who are new to the field of surface analysis to advanced users who would like to broaden their knowledge of new developments in XPS instrumentation and applications.
