XPS: It arises as a consequence of the build-up of a positive charge at thesurface of non-conducting specimens. The rate of photo-electron loss isgreater than that of their replacement from within the specimen.It produces a retarding field at the surface that wille -hνshift the peaks (reduce the KE of the ejected electrons).Suggestions:Static Charging1) Use of the adventitious Carbon line to correct any shift (most materialsexhibit a C 1s line).2) Deposition of a very thin layer of gold (as use in SEM).3) Use of a “flood gun” low energy electrons (0-5 eV).+ + + +-----
Static Charging (cont.)Auger: Sample charging is a function of the total electron yield, f (Σ). Σ isthe sum of secondary electron and backscattering coefficient.Σ > 1 samples charge positively. Auger (and XPS) peaks shift to lower KE(higher BE).Σ < 1 samples charge negatively. Auger (and XPS) peaks shift to higher KE(lower BE).Case 1, the emitted electrons have a reduced KE by a few tens of eVIdentification remains possibleCase 2, the KE of the emitted electrons increases due to the repulsive forcesbetween the charged surface and emitted electrons.Analysis is often impossible.
