Mastering X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) Analysis with RxpsG Software

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful analytical technique used in various fields, including physics, chemistry, and material science. However, analyzing XPS spectra can be a daunting task, especially for those new to the field. This is where RxpsG software comes in – a free, powerful tool for XPS analysis developed by Giorgio Speranza and his colleague Dr. Roberto Canteri.

A Practical Guide to RxpsG Software for XPS Analysis

This book provides a comprehensive guide to using RxpsG software for XPS analysis, covering both theoretical and practical aspects. It starts with the fundamental principles of XPS, explaining the origins of different spectral features such as corelines, Auger components, valence bands, and loss features. The book then delves into the practical application of RxpsG, illustrating how to use the software to analyze specific spectral features using step-by-step examples and figures.

The digital version of the book comes with accompanying spectral data and step-by-step instructions, allowing readers to reproduce the examples and gain hands-on experience with RxpsG.
