Brief description

The near ambient pressure (NAP) X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) system is for high-throughput chemical surface analysis under application relevant environmental conditions.

Technical specifications

The system uses a SPECS XR 50 MF X-ray Source, μ-FOCUS 600 X-ray monochromator and differentially pumped PHOIBOS 150 1D-DLD NAP analyser. The system also has scannable focused extractor type ion source for depth profiling. The system will be run as an XPS facility together with existing standard UHV-based XPS/UPS system.

Key Capabilities
• Controllable atmosphere from sample loading to analysis (up to 100 mbar)
• Adaptable process gas dosing system
• Sputter depth profiling
• Built-in plasma for cleaning and catalysis
• Laser heating up to 1000 ˚C

Compatibility

Powder, solid and some liquid samples

Usage restrictions
