Spin-orbit splitting of XPS peaks

Microscopic Characterization
Category General
Difficulty Level Normal
Audience Level General
Description Microscopic characterization methods refer to scientific techniques Which allow determination of both composition and structure of a material. Optical microscopy, scanning probe microscopy and electron microscopy are known as microscopic techniques. This course illustrates how microscopic characterization techniques are used.
Overview
Microscopic methods play an essential role in nanomaterials characterization. Microscopic and X-ray based characterization of nanomaterials techniques are used for the determination of surface morphology and dispersion characteristics of nanomaterials. This course deals with details of these aspects, and will provide a fundamental understanding of morphological tools, such as instrumentation, sample preparation and different kinds of analyses, etc.


Booklet
Description
 The electron energy depends on elemental electron orbital binding energies. The photoelectron peak intensity depends on how many atoms are emitting from the surface and sensitivity of orbital to X-rays.
Mental Challenge
