"Ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy : basics and its application in the investigation of thin layer growth by atomic layer and chemical vapour deposition"
Present by:
Abstract:
Ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy – i.e. x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on samples immersed in gas or vapour pressures of 0.001 mbar or more, with the record today lying at around 2 bar – emerged already in the 1970s. It was, however, first with the advent of the third-generation synchrotron light sources that the technique became widely spread, and only during the last couple of years its potential for elucidating the surface chemistry of thin layer growth techniques has been realised. In my presentation, I will introduce the technique and then exemplify the opportunities that ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy offers for the elucidation of the surface physics and chemistry of atomic layer and chemical vapour deposition, making use of results from our research on metal oxide deposition.
