The Surface Analysis Toolbox - Combining XPS with ISS, REELS, AES, UPS, and Raman in a Workflow
On-demand
Choosing the right combination of analytical techniques is crucial for surface analysts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is the foundation of surface analysis, but additional methods are often necessary to complete the experiment.
The Thermo Scientific Nexsa Surface Analysis System and the Thermo Scientific ESCALAB QXi X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS) Microprobe offer the capability to integrate other analytical techniques, synchronized with XPS analysis, for a more comprehensive analysis.
In this webinar, you will be introduced to these additional techniques and learn how they can be used with XPS in building a comprehensive understanding of material surfaces.
Join this webinar to discover:
- The fundamentals of ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS), reflected electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS), UV photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and Raman spectroscopy.
- How the additional information provided by these techniques complements an XPS analysis.
- The simplicity of running an analysis on the Nexsa Surface Analysis System.
- Examples highlighting the advantages of combining different techniques for more comprehensive insights.
