NanoESCA - ultra high vacuum Photo Electron Emission Microscopy (PEEM) system with resolution for real-space and momentum-space imaging and spectroscopy

  • Chemical state mapping – X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, analyzing smallest sample structures giving chemical state information.
  • Real time sample navigation - PEEM technique - secondary electron régime, quantitative information on the very local work function and local sample charging.
  • Analyzing the k-space from µm-areas e.g. small grains in a polycrystalline surface with ultimate angular acceptance.

  • Spectroscopy mode (ESCA): Excitation source – Al Kα, spot size: 10-100 μm Energy resolution: 0.3 eV
    ESCA imaging (element imaging): Excitation source – Al Kα, Field of view: 5-600 μm Lateral resolution: 400 nm Energy resolution: 0.4 eV
    Energy filtered PEEM: Excitation source – Hg or any other Field of view: 8-600 μm Lateral resolution: 40 nm Energy resolution: 0.05 eV Work function measurement, ESCA imaging
    Spectroscopy mode (UPS): Excitation source: HeI, HeII, (Ar, Ne, Xe also possible) Angle integrated spot size cca 1 mm Energy resolution: 0.1 eV
    PEEM (photoemission electron microscopy) mode: Excitation source – Hg Field of view: 4-600 μm Lateral resolution: 20 nm Energy resolution: 0.05 eV Work function measurement
