Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES)
The Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy allows for the non-destructive measurement of the bulk chemical & electronic environment and depth-profiling from the surface into the bulk of a material up to depths ~ 100 nm. Until now only available at synchrotron radiation sources (such as I09 beamline at Diamond LS) – this has been made possible by new technologies in lab-based hard x-ray sources with 1000 times more flux.
HAXPES
Detailed Description
HAXPES provides unique characterisation of a wide range of materials systems including:
- Buried interfaces, such as active electronic layers below a surface capping layer
- Depth-profiling through heterostructures and e.g. layered low-dimension materials
- Probing of dopants and contaminants in the bulk of a material
- Many interfaces such as thin films on a substrate
