This proposal is to support the acquisition of an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) system with ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) unit and sample pre-treatment attachments. Key elements make this system a unique state of the art facility with unprecedented analytical capabilities. In addition to high performance XPS chemical analysis, the custom configuration is designed to provide first-time analytical capabilities for inorganic, organic and biological samples processed by atmospheric pressure plasma technologies. The equipment also takes advantage of its geographical location, as it will be the only XPS-based system available in Northern Ireland therefore serving regionally the research community and industrial collaborators. Furthermore it relies on the strengths of the host institution, Ulster University (UU), which brings together internationally recognised expertise in plasma processes, materials processing and characterization together with complementary in-house facilities that will provide important and highly valuable synergies.

本提案旨在支持购置一套带有紫外光电子能谱仪和样品预处理附件的X射线光电子能谱仪。关键要素使该系统成为一个独特的最先进的设施，具有前所未有的分析能力。除了高性能XPS化学分析外，定制配置还旨在为通过大气压等离子体技术处理的无机、有机和生物样品提供首次分析能力。该设备还利用了其地理位置，因为它将是北方爱尔兰唯一的基于XPS的系统，因此可以为区域研究界和工业合作者提供服务。此外，它还依赖于主办机构阿尔斯特大学（UU）的优势，该大学汇集了国际公认的等离子体工艺，材料加工和表征方面的专业知识，以及互补的内部设施，这些设施将提供重要且极具价值的协同效应。
