Open Hour Environmental XPS and High Vacuum XPS

A free one-hour tour of the Royce Institute's Environmental XPS and the High Vacuum  XPS in the Maxwell Centre at the University of Cambridge.

The ultra high-vacuum photoemission instrument, an Escalab 250Xi runs alongside the near ambient pressure (NAP) X-ray photoemission
spectroscopy (XPS) system as a combined joint facility, their capabilities are:

• X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) for chemical analysis of surfaces under inert, UHV conditions
• Ultra-violet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) for measurements of valence bands and work functions with a 21.2eV excitation source
• Angle resolved x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (ARXPS) by varying the angle that the sample is held at and in this way varying the analysis depth down to a few nanometers. This is a non-destructive technique.
•  Depth profiling x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (DPXPS) which combines a sequence of argon ion gun etch cycles with XPS analysis. This is a destructive technique.

This tour will give an overview of the capabilities of the Environmental XPS and the high Vacuum XPS as well as information on booking, funding opportunities and the work of the Royce Institute.

Additionally tours of the Royce Magnetic Property Management System and the Ambient Processing Cluster Tool will also be taking place at this time at the Maxwell Centre. If you're interested please book a tour for these facilities here;
