Notice Information
Notice Title
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) System
Notice Description
XPS instrument with monochromated Al Ka and a monochromated higher energy (photon energy >2.5 keV) X-ray source with coincident sample illumination areas. Instrument must be capable of using an existing argon cluster ion source (Kratos minibeam 6), and capable of using an existing analytical SEM/SAM electron source, and automatic transfer and analysis of three or more sample holders in vacuum.
Lot Information
Lot 1
A high-performance electron spectrometer system combining state of the art multi-Xray-source XPS functionality. Ability to automatically park, load and analyse multiple sample holders in vacuum. Motorised, data-system-integrated control of 5-axis sample manipulator allowing automated angle-resolved spectroscopy and rotation during etching. Multi-technique capability including Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), scanning Auger microscopy (SAM), ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS) on a bakeable ultra-high-vacuum chamber. Data system for full system control and automated data acquisition.
Procurement Information
Only one XPS instrument manufacturer, Kratos Ltd, is capable of providing an instrument with these key requirements essential to NPL: 1) Automatic transfer and analysis of three or more sample holders. 2) Spatially coincident Al Ka and a higher energy source (photon energy >2.5 keV) with automated motorised change-over between sources. 3) Incorporation of an existing NPL capital item, an argon cluster ion source, of the value of PS150,000 and has remaining lifetime of 10 years. 4) Incorporation of an existing NPL capital item, an analytical electron source, of the value of PS100,000 and also has at least 10 years life left.
