Upgrade of an X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer

*9708922 GISASON化学研究仪器和设施计划颁发的这一奖项将帮助伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校化学系获得一台X射线光电子能谱仪。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：(1)离子束改性聚合物薄膜的表面化学分析，(2)高分辨率XPS和表面化学研究，以及(3)活性一氟化碳薄膜的分析。X射线光电子能谱(XPS)用于化学分析。它用一束单色X射线照射样品，产生的光电子的能量被测量，并与特定的元素有关。***

*** 9708922 GISASON This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago to acquire an x-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) surface chemical analysis of ion beam modified polymer films, (2) high resolution XPS and surface chemistry research, and (3) analysis of reactive carbon monofluoride thin films. The X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectrometer is used for chemical analysis. It irradiates a sample with a beam of monochromatic X-rays and the energies of the resulting photoelectrons are measured and are related to specific elements. ***
