X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer
 |
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy is an atomic
spectroscopy which is capable of elemental and molecular information. It is used for
the characterization of toner materials and can give information regarding the age of
xerographically produced documents. |
The XPS provides chemical state information for compound identification. Its features include:
- Dual Mg/Al anode source Auger and photoelectron separation
- Secondary electron imaging
- Argon Ion gun for surface cleaning and depth profiles (Scanning Auger Microscopy)
- Quadrapole SIMS analysis by Cesium or Oxygen beam
Specification
- Beam Energy for XPS source anode: 12kV; 14mA; spot size 1 mm
- XPS Energy Analyzer (MAC 2): 0.3 - 4.0 eV resolution, constant; acceptance solid angle 6% of 2(pi)
- Electron Gun
- Argon Ion Gun
- Auger Analyzer
- Cesium Source
- Duo Source (Currently Oxygen: O2+ or O-)
- Quadrapole SIMS Analyzer
- Data output to printer, ASCII file or Text
Specimen Considerations
- Vacuum compatible to UHV conditions
- Specimen size 1X1 cm
