► ESCALAB 250

Main functions:
Thermo ESCALAB 250 XPS equipped with a monochromatic Al Ka X-ray source and a non-monochromatic x-ray sources (Al/Mg).
The functions include:
    • XPS with both of monochromatic and non-monochromatic X-rays
    • Angle resolved XPS
    • Depth profiling capability
    • AES (Auger electron spectroscopy)
    • UPS (Ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy)
    • Ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS) in base system
    • Reflected electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) in base system

Application:
XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) or ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis), is the most important method of all surface analysis techniques. Elemental and chemical information about the top few atomic layers can be obtained with ease from insulating as well as conducting materials. Each element has a finger print spectrum and when several elements are present on the same surface, these can be clearly identified and their chemical states ascertained from their photoelectron binding energies. It is widely used as a major tool in the surface analysis of materials and chemistry.
