Models for energy loss in XPS are reviewed. We start with rigorous models to describe the
fundamental interaction of the electric fields from both the core-hole and the moving electron …

The original Handbook of Surface and Interface Analysis: Methods for Problem-Solving was
based on the authors' firm belief that characterization and analysis of surfaces should be …

Proximity effects allow for the adjustment of magnetic properties in a physically elegant way.
If two thin ferromagnetic (FM) films are brought into contact, electronic coupling alters their …

Carbon atom coordination at diamond-like carbon (DLC) film surfaces and in sub-surface
regions has been determined nondestructively from high-energy resolved C 1s …

The solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) technology has a huge potential for future mass
production of hydrogen, mainly due to its high electrical-to-chemical energy conversion …

The chemical structure of the CdS/Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) interface was studied by a
combination of electron and X-ray spectroscopies with varying surface sensitivity. We find …

Over the past decade, energy-dependent ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) has emerged as a powerful analytical probe of the ion spatial …

X-ray photoelectron (XPS) intensities have been simulated for spherical core-shell
nanoparticles (NPs) in different geometrical arrangements in order to investigate the validity …

The use of sacrificial self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to prepare clean n-type GaAs
(100) surfaces without band bending in vacuo is demonstrated. GaAs surface passivation …

The effective attenuation length (EAL) is normally used in place of the inelastic mean free
path (IMFP) to account for elastic-scattering effects when describing the attenuation of Auger …
