X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Market

Report Highlights

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is also known as Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA).  X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy is a quantitative technique which identifies the chemical composition of surfaces. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy surface-sensitive technique was developed by a research group in University of Uppsala, Sweden led by Kai Siegbahn. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy analyses the surface chemistry of a material in natural state or after treatments such as exposure to heat or ultra-violet radiation for detailed and better analysis. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy uses photoelectric effect created by x-rays. X-rays converge on the sample surface and the energy distributed by the electrons ejected from the sample surface is probed, a process known as irradiation. The electrons ejected by the sample surface in X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy contain information about the chemical oxidation state, atomic composition, morphology and electronic structure of the chemicals present on the sample surface. In this way, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy analyses the surface composition, electronic environment and atomic composition of the surface sample under study.

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Market: Drivers & Restraints

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy technique studies the surface sample without destroying the surface. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy is a useful technique to quantify the compositions of ultrathin layers of sample surfaces. Hence, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy is vital for studying the interfacial phenomena at the borders of solids and gas. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy market limitation is that it analyses only the surface chemistry of samples. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy gauges the electrons ejected by surface of topmost layers of samples.

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy detects elements with atomic number of 3 and above only. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy is unable to detect hydrogen or helium easily. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy detection limits are in the range of parts per thousand and detection limit of parts per million range for X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy requires special conditions and arrangements.
