Prize in physics in 1921 for this work. photoemission from x ray irradiation was first observed by robinson and rawlinson in 1914, and the first application of photoemission as an analysis method was presented by steinhardt and serfass in 1951.19 however, the bulk of the work to develop x ray photoelectron spectroscopy into. X ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( xps) is a surface sensitive quantitative spectroscopic technique that measures the very topmost 200 atoms, 0.01 um, 10 nm of any surface. it belongs to the family of photoemission spectroscopies in which electron population spectra are obtained by irradiating a material with a beam of x rays.
It cannot go unnoticed for a reader of modern material science literature that x ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps) has become the most common method for characterization of surface chemistry leaving far behind alternative techniques such as auger electron spectroscopy (aes) or secondary ion mass spectrometry (sims). 1 this is thanks to significant developments that took place in the last.

The different spectra in fig. 1, fig. 2 illustrate two important features of xps spectra that a proper analysis must explain and, ideally, relate to materials properties. . the first is the number of features, attributed to ionization of a given shell, that receive significant intensity; in fig. 1, there is only one peak while in fig. 2, there are thr.

X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps) has become one of the most widely used surface analysis techniques, and xps instrumentation has become more user friendly, making the technique available to a large number of researchers. the number of experts in the field, however, has not increased, and xps data are often misinterpreted in the literature.
