X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

In X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, 2nd Edition, Paul van der Heide presents a structured guide to analyzing the composition and chemistry of solid surfaces. The work is tailored for students as well as active practitioners across chemistry, physics, and material science.

The text organizes core laboratory workflows into clear sequential stages. Readers follow processes for initial sample handling, systematic methodology development, and standard instrument operation. Subsequent sections address laboratory automation, measurement quantification, and data interpretation.

To ground theoretical concepts in active research settings, the volume features case studies drawn from laboratory, fabrication (fab), and synchrotron settings. These practical scenarios demonstrate how surface analytical methods are deployed in diverse experimental environments.
