Equipment Catalog

The lab-based ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectrometer has three monochromatic photon energies to allow non-destructive depth profiling: Al anode at 1487 eV, a Ag anode at 2984 eV, and a Cr anode at 5414 eV. XPS data can be collected at gas pressures up to ~ 5 mbar and sample temperatures from -180 °C to 1000 °C. Suitable sample types include single crystals, foils, and powders. A sputter gun and annealing are available for sample preparation. A dedicated sample manipulator enables solid/liquid and liquid/vapor interface studies using the meniscus method of sample preparation. The manipulator has 4 electrical feedthroughs for a potentiostat.
