XPS is routinely used to analyze inorganic compounds, metal alloys, semiconductors, polymers, elements, catalysts, glasses, ceramics,.
Detection limits of parts per million (ppm) are possible, but require special conditions: concentration at top surface or very long collection time.
Detection limits for most of the elements are in the parts per thousand range (1,000 PPM).
ESCA, an abbreviation for “electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis” was introduced by Kai Siegbahn and his research group.
XPS is a surface chemical analysis technique that can be used to analyze the surface chemistry of a material in its’ “as received” state, or after some treatment, for example: fracturing, cutting or scraping in air or UHV to expose the bulk chemistry, ion beam etching to clean off some of the surface contamination, exposure to heat to study the changes due to heating, exposure to reactive gases or solutions, exposure to ion beam implant, exposure to ultraviolet light. XPS requires ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. ESCA (XPS) spectra are obtained by irradiating a material with a beam of X-rays while simultaneously measuring the kinetic energy and number of electrons that escape from the top 1 to 12 nm of the material being analyzed.
