Photoemission Spectroscopy (XPS&UPS) Facility

Overview

The Photoemission Spectroscopy Facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS) system (SPECS PHOIBOS 150 hemispherical energy analyser) that enables chemical and electronic characterisation of the surface of a wide range of materials. It provides services to both internal and external users for routine XPS and UPS analysis, as well as for long-term experiments to characterise the electronic structure of samples requiring in-situ preparation and modification.
