Advanced Tools for Materials, Electronics, and Energy Research
Understanding what’s happening at the surface of a material is critical to innovation in everything from semiconductors and batteries to polymers and biomaterials. That’s where X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) has a key role to play. Thermo Fisher’s XPS solutions – available in the UK, Ireland, and the Nordics through BlueScientific – provide fast, accurate, and detailed surface analysis, helping researchers and industry professionals make informed decisions and drive development forward.Why XPS?
XPS is a surface-sensitive technique that measures the elemental composition and chemical state of a material’s top 1–10 nanometres. It’s non-destructive, quantitative, and widely trusted for:- Identifying surface contaminants and oxidation states
- Characterising thin films, coatings, and nanostructures
- Understanding chemical bonding, degradation, or failure
