Doug is a senior research scientist with McCrone Associates. Before we get started I would like to give you a bit of Doug’s background. Doug is going to talk to us about X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, otherwise known as XPS. My name is Charles Zona, and today we are happy to welcome Doug Meier.

This free webinar provides a brief overview of the underlying theory of XPS, and demonstrates a variety of XPS analysis techniques that can be performed, including compositional depth profiling and chemical state characterization, using our newly-acquired ThermoFisher Scientific NEXSA instrument. XPS exploits the nanometer-scale path length of electron photemission in solids to reveal information about a sample’s surface composition and chemistry.

One such technique is X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), also known as electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). In order to predict how a material will react-or understand how it has reacted-to a given chemical environment, surface-sensitive analytical techniques must be utilized. Chemical reactions between solids and their environment are governed by the identities and the chemical states of the molecules found on their surfaces.
