X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a commonly used surface analysis technique for elemental and chemical characterization of the top few nanometers of a material. However, analysis of some materials can be tricky when using the traditional monochromatic Al X-ray source due to effects of adventitious contamination, buried interfaces, or spectral overlaps. With the advent of lab-based hard X-ray spectrometers (HAXPES), higher energy X-ray probe beams allow the collection of photoelectron signals from deeper in the material, thereby minimizing these effects. Additionally, it is possible to perform ion beam sputter depth profiling while minimizing the effect of atomic mixing or chemical reduction often seen with an Al X-ray source.
In this webinar, Ben will discuss recent developments on the PHI Quantes Scanning XPS/HAXPES Microprobe instrument, which utilizes both Al Ka (1486.6 eV) and Cr Ka (5414.8 eV) X-ray sources for XPS and HAXPES analysis, respectively. Significant advances have been made in developing sensitivity factors for quantitative HAXPES analysis, as well as software improvements for data collection and processing. Several application areas will be highlighted to show the advantage of the Cr X-ray source in analysis of battery materials, microelectronics, carbon-containing materials, and perovskites.
Wettability and Adhesion of Real Surfaces Seminar Join us for a 1 hour seminar about Wettability and Adhesion, where we will go through how to utilize contact angles for wettability measurements and evaluation of adhesion. We will also address the theory behind them and emphasize strategies how to apply these measurements to real, non-ideal surfaces which may be heterogeneous in both surface chemistry and surface roughness. Wettability and adhesion are key parameters in numerous industries such as coatings, biotechnology and electronics. The seminar will include lecture and a demonstration of how to account for the surface roughness and wettability determination for advanced research. You can also download our White Paper on Surface roughness and wettability.

Industrial Applications of AFMWho is this webinar for: Bio and life science researchersAbout:AFM has long been a critical metrology tool for measuring nanometer resolution topographic roughness and nanostructure. However commercially available AFMs limited the sample size and shape to either small sample, or wafer/waferlike geometries. In other words, flat samples. If your samples didn’t fit into those size/shape constraints, your options were to either destroy your part or measure discrete regions which may or may not be applicable to your needs. Today, however, Nanosurf takes AFM out of the flat sample world and into 3 dimensions. With the option of multiple scanner designs and knowledge to build 3, 4, 5 or more axis staging, working with real parts is now a reality. This brings AFM into metrology for complex optics, machined parts, gratings and more. Come learn how AFM can improve your metrology without destroying your parts..

Due to its popularity, we are re-running one of the webinars we held last year, “Introduction to Benchtop NMR Spectroscopy” on Wednesday 28 April at 08:00 BST and 16:00 BST. This time, the webinar will include new applications in the field of battery research.
Benchtop NMR is a versatile and powerful tool for analytical chemistry. This webinar will cover the basic concepts of NMR and what is easily achievable with the X-Pulse broadband benchtop NMR system. Following the success of last year’s webinar, this webinar will also include new applications in the field of battery research.

During this webinar, hosted by Oils & Fats International, we will discuss how both time domain NMR (TD-NMR) and benchtop NMR spectroscopy are used to measure oils and fats throughout the food chain; from harvest through to manufacturing of ingredients and the food products themselves. For example, fat content is an important parameter for quality assurance and control of snacks, confectionery and food ingredients. Other TD-NMR measurables include the melting profile of edible oils/fats and droplet size in food emulsions such as dairy and non-dairy spreads.
Benchtop NMR spectroscopy can quantify the proportion of saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids in a variety of foods. Furthermore, spectra can be used to distinguish and authenticate different vegetable oils and meats as well as test for robusta in Arabica coffee.
Please note: if you are unable to join us, the session will be recorded and communicated with registered guests only. Please register to receive this communication.
