Perkin-Elmer PHI 5600 LS

         Monoenergetic x-rays are focused onto the surface of a material and excite surface atoms. Core and valence shell photoelectrons with energies characteristic of elements in the top 100 angstroms are ejected and energy analyzed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on surface composition. The kinetic energy of the electron emitted provides information about the functional group and the oxidation state of the surface species. 

Examples of Uses:

  • Studies of surface modifications and treatments
  • Locus-of-Failure identification in multi-layer films
  • Determination of fiber finish compositions
  • Identification of thin film coatings and surface contaminants
  • Catalyst oxidation state and poisoning studies
  • Surface coatings of pigments
  • Surface compositions of polymers and polymeric coatings
