3. Determination of the inelastic mean freepath for SiO2 and the BBL polymer : A study with XPS and HAXPES
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : This study targets methodology development using Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES) as a tool for investigating material surfaces. When analysing samples with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES), it is important to know the probing depth of the samples. READ MORE
