Product catalog summary
Introduction to X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS):
XPS, also known as Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA), is a surface-sensitive, quantitative chemical analysis technique. It measures photoelectrons ejected from a material's surface when irradiated with X-rays, providing information about the element and its chemical state. XPS is valuable for analyzing the top few nanometers of a surface, making it applicable in various fields such as microelectronics, solar cells, and nanomaterials.
Nexsa G2 XPS System:
The Thermo Scientific Nexsa G2 is a fully automated, multi-technique instrument featuring a micro-focus X-ray source for high sensitivity and spatial resolution. It supports additional techniques like UPS, ISS, and REELS, and can integrate a Raman spectrometer for correlative spectroscopy. This system is ideal for applications in semiconductors, 2D materials, and thin films.
ESCALAB QXi XPS Microprobe:
The ESCALAB QXi offers high-resolution, quantitative XPS imaging and is designed for flexibility and configurability. It includes features like ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS) and reflected electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) as standard, with options for additional techniques such as UPS and AES.
K-Alpha XPS System:
The K-Alpha XPS System is designed for both research and routine analysis, featuring high-performance hardware and intuitive workflows. It supports large sample handling, chemical state imaging, and depth profiling, making it suitable for multi-user facilities and R&D laboratories.
MAGCIS Dual Beam Ion Source:
This patented dual-mode ion source allows for both monatomic and gas cluster ion sputtering, enabling depth profiling and surface cleaning of various materials. It helps overcome limitations of traditional monatomic ion sources by reducing surface damage.
Avantage Data System:
The Avantage Data System is the software used across Thermo Scientific XPS instruments for control, data processing, and reporting. It supports flexible experiment design, multi-technique integration, and advanced data interpretation tools.
Financial and Leasing Services:
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers flexible financing options to support the acquisition of laboratory products and analytical technologies, addressing budgetary constraints and business challenges.
Comparison of XPS Systems:
The document includes a comparison table of XPS capabilities across different systems (K-Alpha, ESCALAB QXi, Nexsa G2), highlighting features like large and small area XPS, imaging, and charge compensation systems.
