an introduction to surface analysis by XPS and AES An Introduction to Surface Analysis by XPS and AES

John F. Watts, John Wolstenholme
ISBN: 0-470-84713-1, Paperback, 224 pages, May 2003

An Introduction to Surface Analysis by Electron Spectroscopy is a clear and accessible introduction to the key spectroscopic techniques used in surface analysis. Focusing on the two most popular surface science techniques; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), the book will be of benefit to both students and users in industry who require a rapid grounding in the methods before carrying out their own analysis.

Starting with an introduction to the basic concepts of electron spectroscopy, the text moves on to explain underlying physical principles, discusses the instrumentation employed and looks at the interpretation of the resulting spectra. The latest material on angle resolved XPS, surface engineering and complimentary methods have been included to provide an up-to-date account of these widely used techniques.

  • Examples taken from the fields of metallurgy, corrosion, microelectronics, polymers and adhesion.
  • Detailed glossary of key surface analysis terms.
  • An invaluable text for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying surface analysis within science and engineering.
  • A useful reference to those working within the field and needing to familiarize themselves with these important techniques.


Confocal Microscopy Methods and Protocols

Edited by Stephen W. Paddock
442pp, hardcover, ISBN 0896035263.

Stephen Paddock and a highly skilled panel of experts lead the researcher using confocal techniques from the bench top, through the imaging process, to the journal page. They concisely describe all the key stages of confocal imaging-from tissue sampling methods, through the staining process, to the manipulation, presentation, and publication of the realized image. Written in a user-friendly, nontechnical style, the methods specifically cover most of the commonly used model organisms: worms, sea urchins, flies, plants, yeast, frogs, and zebrafish. The powerful hands-on methods collected here will help even the novice to produce first-class cover-quality confocal images.

microscopic x-ray fluorescence analysis Microscopic X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis

Koen H. A. Janssens (Editor), Freddy C. V. Adams (Editor), Anders Rindby (Editor), ISBN: 0-471-97426-9, Hardcover, 434 pages, June 2000

In the last 10 - 15 years many analytical advances in X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) have taken place, giving rise to non-destructive ultrasensitive surface analyses of materials. One of the variants of XRF developed is micro-XRF (µ-XRF), which is able to analyze the distribution of major, minor and trace elements in microscopic sample surface areas. Due to the availability of commercial instrumentation and the development of simple devices for focusing X-rays, µ-XRF has increased in popularity and is able to fill the gap between bulk X-ray fluorescence and electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPXMA).

Microwave Techniques and Protocols Microwave Techniques and Protocols

RT Giberson and RS Demaree, Jr., editors, 2001, 300pp, hardcover, ISBN 0-89603-903-X.

This is the first book to provide detailed protocols from laboratories that integrate microwave technology as part of their normal routine. The text shows how microwave processing has evolved into a methodology that greatly reduces processing times without sacrificing quality, and can be utilized by any laboratory personnel who process samples for microscopy. This volume includes examples of technicians and investigators using light microscopy tissue samples in paraffin, plastics, as well as in vitro labeling and immuno labeling. Also included are cases demonstrating the processing of samples for scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Microwave Techniques and Protocols sets the trend by assembling a wide range of detailed protocols that are being used today to improve productivity and reduce costs.

scanning auger electron microscopy Scanning Auger Electron Microscopy

Martin Prutton (Editor), Mohamed M. El Gomati (Editor)
ISBN: 0-470-86677-2, Hardcover, 384 pages, May 2006

The material in the book is intended as a guide to the subject of Auger electron microscopy and so it is hoped that it will be of interest to researchers in this field as well as to others who wish to discover what can be achieved with this technique and what are its limitations. In addition, it will be useful to analysts working with SAMs who are hard pressed to measure many samples and have little time to work on other aspects of the behaviour of their instrument or the problems that they may, perhaps unwittingly encounter.

Scanning Probe Microscopies Beyond Imaging Scanning Probe Microscopies Beyond Imaging:
Manipulation of Molecules and Nanostructures

Paolo Samori (Editor)
September 2006, 570pp, hardcover
ISBN: 3-527-31269-2

This first book to focus on the use of SPMs to actively manipulate molecules and nanostructures on surfaces goes way beyond conventional treatments of scanning microscopy merely for imaging purposes. It reviews recent progress in the use of SPMs on such soft materials as polymers, with a particular emphasis on chemical discrimination, mechanical properties, tip-induced reactions and manipulations, as well as their nanoscale electrical properties. Detailing the practical application potential of this hot topic, this book is of great interest to specialists of wide-ranging disciplines, including physicists, chemists, materials scientists, spectroscopy experts, surface scientists, and engineers.

thin film analysis by x-ray scattering Thin Film Analysis by X-Ray Scattering

Mario Birkholz
ISBN: 3-527-31052-5, Hardcover, 378 pages, February 2006

While X-ray diffraction investigation of powders and polycrystalline matter was at the forefront of materials science in the 1960s and 70s, high-tech applications at the beginning of the 21st century are driven by the materials science of thin films. Very much an interdisciplinary field, chemists, biochemists, materials scientists, physicists and engineers all have a common interest in thin films and their manifold uses and applications.

Grain size, porosity, density, preferred orientation and other properties are important to know: whether thin films fulfill their intended function depends crucially on their structure and morphology once a chemical composition has been chosen. Although their backgrounds differ greatly, all the involved specialists a profound understanding of how structural properties may be determined in order to perform their respective tasks in search of new and modern materials, coatings and functions. The author undertakes this in-depth introduction to the field of thin film X-ray characterization in a clear and precise manner.
