Instrument specification

  • Technical aspects

    The UHV environment restricts the sample materials that can be analyzed, in particular no outgassing materials. The sample size can be up to 4 inches. To avoid charging of the specimen, a flood gun allows for analysis of insulating materials. For surface cleaning an Ar-sputter gun is attached. Due to a rotational arm, angle resolved measurements can be performed to determine the near surface depth dependend chemical composition. XPS analysis can be examined with a monocromatized Al (1486.7 eV) and Ag (2984.3 eV) anode. For UPS analysis, whether He I (21.2 eV)  or He II (48.4 eV) energy lines are used. In situ heating up to 800°C by electron impact heating is possible for samples up to 12 mm x 12 mm x 3 mm. Based on this, thermal programmed desorption (TPD) is possible using a HIDEN Massspectrometer (300 amu). An attached LEED module allows for additional in situ analysis of the surface crystallinity/arrangement.
