We at Cardiff are pleased to announce, through the support of the EPSRC through their "Access to Materials Research Equipment" initiative, the X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis centre, located within the Wolfson nanoscience laboratory.
Introducing
the Kratos Axis Ultra - DLD
The Kratos AXIS ULTRA has been installed and running within the School of Chemistry since 2006. Combining the next generation of photoelectron detector, the spectrometer also incorporates quantitative, real time parallel imaging with the highest resolution spectroscopy over all analysis areas.
The system integrates the Kratos magnetic immersion lens and charge neutralisation system with dual analysers (spherical mirror and concentric hemispherical analysers). Together with the delay-line detector (DLD) in both imaging and spectroscopy modes, the system provides exceptional results.
The system is not confined to being a high throughput photoelectron spectrometer however, and is equipped with facilities for single crystal work and characterisation, but also boasts a Quartz Catalytic Cell capable of pressures up to 6 bar at 400oC or 1 bar at 1000oC. For further information on this instrument, please click on the link in the upper menu, or the picture above.
Some of the Spectrometers Features Include:High Energy Resolution, Multi-point Spectroscopy, Fast Parallel Imaging, Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED), Metal Deposition Sources, Quartz Microbalance, Depth Profiling, Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD), Ion Scattering Spectroscopy (ISS), Catalytic Reaction Cell. |
