XANADU seminar series - Chemical Properties of Surfaces and Interfaces Studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Chemical Properties of Surfaces and Interfaces Studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
With Andrey Shavorskiy, HIPPIE beamline scientist, MAX IV Laboratory.
Abstract:
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful tool for characterizing the chemical structure of surfaces and interfaces between solids, liquids, and gases. Developed in Sweden in the mid-20th century, it is one of the most widely used characterization tools offered in the research labs and synchrotron facilities, such as MAX IV. XPS instrumentation, mainly based at the synchrotron light source, is invaluable for supporting research in atmospheric physics, (electro-) catalysis, quantum materials, materials science, photovoltaics, energy storage, etc. Due to its high-brightness photon beam from two storage rings, MAX IV Laboratory offers multiple XPS experimental platforms (called beamlines) dedicated to measurements with high energy, spatial, and time resolution under operational conditions. This seminar will introduce the basic principles of XPS and demonstrate a few examples of the transformational impact of the method on various research areas in Chemistry and Physics.
