Correlative Surface Analysis Workshop at Harvard CNS (Oct 4th-5th, 2022)
April 26, 2024
Correlative Surface Analysis Workshopâ Latest developments in XPS and related tools for materials analysis
Center for Nanoscale Systems Harvard University
October 4th from 9am â 3pm to October 5th from 9am â 12pm EDT
There are many ways to analyze the composition of a material, however the best results are found by collecting information from multiple avenues. In this LIVE workshop, we will focus on the latest developments in multi-technique surface analysis, particularly X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). We will discuss the latest developments for these instruments, and how datasets from both techniques combine to give a more complete understanding of a sample.âŻ
This workshop will introduce our new âCISA,â Correlated Imaging for Surface Analysis workflow, for combining the capabilities of XPS and SEM.⯠The first day of the workshop will include talks from local scientistsusing XPS including Thermo Fisher Scientific product specialists, Dr. James Lallo and Dr. Hugues Francois Saint-Cyr.
Robust interpretation of XPS results is as critical as the quality of the raw data.⯠The second day of the workshop will focus on XPS data interpretation and reporting through live guided tutorial.⯠Dr. Tim Nunney will provide instruction on XPS data reduction using the Thermo Scientific AVANTAGE™ software.⯠Example data sets and trial copies of the new AVANTAGE™ Version 6 will be provided to attendees of the tutorial.
