Introduction

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is an experimental technique widely used in materials science and surface chemistry.

The beam irradiates the material and measures the kinetic energy and number of photoelectrons escaping from the top of the material being analyzed within a depth of 0nm~10nm to obtain Characteristic XPS spectra of each element. The laboratory uses a typical X-ray excitation source, which can detect all elements except hydrogen and helium (original The detection limits of most elements can be within a few thousandths of an ppm range.

The XPS method has low destructiveness to the test sample and high surface sensitivity, and can be used to analyze the chemical composition and electronic structure of the material surface.

XPS imaging and micro-area analysis technology have high The XPS depth analysis can obtain the element distribution and chemical state of the surface of the material at the micron level.

Qualitative and quantitative results at different nanometer depths below the surface.

This document describes the basic specifications and method flow of XPS analysis technology, including instrument structure and function, pre-experimental preparation, The experimental steps and post-experimental data processing involve the preparation and installation of XPS samples, the selection of instrument parameters and data Acquisition, spectrum processing and qualitative and quantitative analysis, as well as the preparation of inspection and testing reports. Following this document and process can ensure the XPS experiment The accuracy, reliability and comparability of the results provide powerful data for obtaining the true electronic structure and chemical composition information of the material surface. support.

From basic research to industrial applications, the development of XPS analysis technology has enabled scientists to gain a deeper understanding of the surface characteristics of materials.

It helps the research of surface chemistry and materials science, and continues to play an important role in the development of new materials and new technologies.

3 Terms and Definitions

The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 22461.1 and the following apply to this document.

3.1 surface

The interface between a condensed phase and a gas phase, vapor, or free space.

Note 1 to entry. The interface between the solid and gas phases is called a surface.

NOTE 2 For the purpose of surface analysis, it is recommended to distinguish between the general “surface”, “physical surface” and “experimental surface”. Surface – a sample with an uncertain depth The "external part" of the sample is used for general discussion of the external area of the sample; the physical surface is the outermost atomic layer of the sample. If the sample is placed in a vacuum In the experimental surface, the layer in contact with the vacuum is the experimental surface, which is the part of the sample from which the excited electrons can escape. It is the sample volume or the corresponding The volume from which the electron escapes is the larger of the two.

3.2 Standard sample reference material; RM

Reference Materials Standard substances A material that is sufficiently homogeneous and stable in one or more specified properties and has been determined to be suitable for its intended use in a measurement process.

Note 1.Standard sample is a general term.

Note 2 to entry. Properties can be quantitative or qualitative (e.g. characteristics of a substance or species).

Note 3 to entry. Uses may include calibration of measurement systems, evaluation of measurement procedures, assigning values to other substances, and quality control.
