Surface Characterization of Biological Materials by X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

  • Chapter
Contemporary Topics in Analytical and Clinical Chemistry

Abstract

X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a relatively new field of electron spectroscopy. The physics of the processes involved limit the signals observed to no more than the outer 5–10 monolayers of the surface. The discrete energies of the core electrons photoejected from the elements on the surface can yield information on both elemental composition and chemical bonding.
