Advanced Methods in XPS Data Processing

Advanced Methods in XPS Data Processing

Held on: February 15, 2023

XPS has become a major contributor in the scientific community and industry to interrogate surface chemical composition and binding information of a diverse range of materials from catalysis to biofilms. The goal of this workshop is to introduce methods and procedures for XPS data acquisition and processing. The workshop will focus on the advanced methods of interpreting complex polymer and transition metal oxide spectra aided by CasaXPS:

• PCA abstract factor analysis;

• Classification of raw data;

• Spectral lineshape extraction from data;

• Linear Least squares optimization (LLS);

• Non-LLS.

The workshop is based on the data and methods from the recent publications:
