Depth Profiling

Understand how a sample’s chemistry changes into the bulk or examine the interface of layers with depth profiling. The Nexsa’s dual-mode source uses a high performance monatomic ion source for organic materials, and MAGCIS (Monatomic And Gas Cluster Ion Source) for other types of samples. These are configured automatically to ensure reproducibility, and greatly open up the types of samples you can analyse.

Wide Range of Possibilities

As well as the option to integrate other techniques seamlessly for correlative spectroscopy, a wide range of sample holders are available. As well as accommodating a variety of sample types, including powders and fibres, these also add new possibilities to your experiments. Rotating sample holders improve layer resolution during depth profiling. Use a tilting sample holder for angle-dependent XPS studies on ultra-thin films. Examine air-sensitive materials without exposure to the air, with a vacuum transfer module. Apply low voltages with a bias sample holder to measure work functions and performing charge/discharge studies. Examine how samples react to heating.
