Handbook of Monochromatic XPS Spectra

These three volumes provide comprehensive information about the instrument, the samples, and the methods used to collect the spectra. The spectra are presented on a landscape format and cover a wide variety of elements,polymers, semiconductors, and other materials.

• Offers a clear presentation of spectra with the rightamount of experimental detail.
• All of the experiments have been conducted under controlled conditions on the same instrument by aworld-renowned expert.

Das "Handbook of Monochromatic XPS Spectra" besteht aus den drei Bänden, The Elements and Native Oxides, Semiconductors und Polymers and Polymer Damage. Dies ist Band 1 "The Elements and Native Oxides" des dreibändigen Nachschlagewerkes. Die drei Bände sind eine in sich abgeschlossene Sammlung monochromatischer XPS-Spektren in der Hand - eine unentbehrliche Hilfe im Laboralltag vieler Analytiker! Einleitende Kapitel erläutern die verwendete instrumentelle Ausrüstung, die Proben und die Verfahren der Spektrenaufnahme. Im Spektrenteil sind alle Peaks beschriftet, die Spektren sind durch umfangreiches Datenmaterial (Atom-%-Tabellen, Bindungsenergien, Halbwertsbreite usw.) ergänzt. Ein Muß für jedes XPS-Labor!

B. Vincent Crist is the author of Handbook of Monochromatic XPS Spectra: The Elements of Native Oxides, published by Wiley. This handbook is one of three containing an invaluable collection of research grade XPS spectra. Each handbook concentrates on a specific family of materials (the elements and their native oxides, semiconductors, and polymers) and is entirely self-contained. The introductory section to each handbook includes comprehensive information about the XPS instruments used, the materials, and the advanced methods of collecting the spectra. Energy resolution settings, instrument characteristics, energy referencing methods, traceability, energy scale calibration details and transmission function are all reported. Among the many valuable features included in each of these handbooks are:
* All spectra were measured by using Al_K monochromatic X-rays.
* All spectra were collected in a self-consistent manner to maximize data reliability and quality.
* All peaks in the wide spectra are fully annotated and accompanied by detailed atom % tables that report BEs for each of the labelled peaks.
* Each high-energy resolution spectrum is peak-fitted and accompanied by detailed tables containing binding energies, FWHMs and relative percentages.
In this volume, The Elements and Native Oxides, are contained XPS spectra of the elements and real-world practical grade spectra of their native oxides. Exclusive features of this volume include:
* Binding energies for pure elements that are accurate to +/- 0.06 eV
* Alphabetical organization based on commonplace chemical abbreviations
* Charge compensation with patented flood-gun-mesh-screen system
* C (1s) binding energies for adventitious hydrocarbons revealing that the BE ranges from 284.2 to 286.3 eV
* Valence band spectra from the elements.
This handbook is an invaluable reference for scientists in industry, academia and government laboratories that use XPS spectra in materials science and surface science.
