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

This comprehensive guidebook, written by renowned author Giorgio Speranza, provides a theoretical foundation and practical tutorial on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis using the powerful RxpsG software.

A Practical Introduction to XPS Analysis with RxpsG

While there are numerous publications and books that delve into the theory behind XPS and the origin of spectral features, this book offers a unique, hands-on approach to using RxpsG for XPS analysis. The author has crafted a step-by-step guide, complete with figures and examples that readers can replicate themselves, to help researchers master the use of RxpsG.

Theoretical Background and Practical Applications

The book is divided into theoretical sections that explain the appearance of various spectral features, including corelines, Auger components, valence bands, and loss features. These sections are accompanied by practical steps, enabling readers to apply their knowledge and analyze specific spectral features using RxpsG’s functions.
