A new way of measuring how materials interact at the atomic level could help scientists develop better-performing, ...

Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a surface-sensitive analytical technique that provides information about the elemental composition, chemical state, and electronic structure of a material's surface ...

Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) has emerged as a cornerstone technique for probing the electronic structure of organic molecules, offering direct measurement of binding energies and orbital character ...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is often used to determine the chemical composition of materials. It was developed in the 1960s and is accepted as a standard method in materials science.

Photoelectron spectroscopy of molecular anions is a powerful technique for interrogating the electronic structure and dynamics of negatively charged molecules. By photodetaching an excess electron ...

Faster, more efficient, and more versatile—these are the expectations for the technology that will produce our energy and handle information in the future. But how can these expectations be met? A ...

The basic physical process of irradiating a material with photons of a known energy and measuring the ejected photoelectrons has remained unchanged over six decades since it was first commercialized.

An X-ray photoelectron spectrometer is an impressive bit of kit. The relatively low energy of the detected photoelectrons dictates that the experiments are performed in ultra-high vacuum. The ...

New research shows that X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) can give misleading analysis results due to an erroneous assumption during calibration. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is often ...

Photoelectron spectroscopy reveals a highly symmetric B₈₀ cage, the existence of which has been debated for nearly 20 years.

Physicists have used ultrashort laser pulses to probe the dynamics of photoelectron emission in tungsten crystals. Physicists at Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich (LMU) and the Max Planck ...
