Handbook of Monochromatic XPS Spectra: The Elements of Native Oxides

This handbook is one of three containing an invaluable collection of research grade XPS spectra. Each handbook concentrates on a specific family of materials (the elements and their native oxides, semiconductors, and polymers) and is entirely self–contained. The introductory section to each handbook includes comprehensive information about the XPS instruments used, the materials, and the advanced methods of collecting the spectra. Energy resolution settings, instrument characteristics, energy referencing methods, traceability, energy scale calibration details and transmission function are all reported. Among the many valuable features included in each of these handbooks are:
∗ All spectra were measured by using Al—K monochromatic X–rays.
∗ All spectra were collected in a self–consistent manner to maximize data reliability and quality.
∗ All peaks in the wide spectra are fully annotated and accompanied by detailed atom % tables that report BEs for each of the labelled peaks.
∗ Each high–energy resolution spectrum is peak–fitted and accompanied by detailed tables containing binding energies, FWHMs and relative percentages.
In this volume, The Elements and Native Oxides, are contained XPS spectra of the elements and real–world practical grade spectra of their native oxides. Exclusive features of this volume include:
∗ Binding energies for pure elements that are accurate to +/– 0.06 eV
∗ Alphabetical organization based on commonplace chemical abbreviations
∗ Charge compensation with patented flood–gun–mesh–screen system
∗ C (1s) binding energies for adventitious hydrocarbons revealing that the BE ranges from 284.2 to 286.3 eV
∗ Valence band spectra from the elements.
This handbook is an invaluable reference for scientists in industry, academia and government laboratories that use XPS spectra in materials science and su rface science. Also available: Handbook of Monochromatic XPS Spectra: Polymers and Polymers Damaged by X–rays Handbook of Monochromatic XPS Spectra: Semiconductors
