Photoelectron spectroscopy analyses surfaces

Designed for use without vacuum, a photoelectron spectrometer consists of an open counter equipped with a UV source and measures ionization potential and surface work function in air.

RKI Instruments has introduced the Model AC-2 Photoelectron Spectrometer.

Designed for atmospheric pressure operation, it consists of an open counter equipped with a UV source.

The instrument measures ionization potential and work function of surfaces in air (without vacuum).

The open counter is a unique electron detector which can be operated in open air (without vacuum) and has been used for photoelectron spectroscopy in the air (PESA).

By combining the open counter with a UV source, the AC-2 PESA instrument opens the way to a new dimension in surface anaylysis.

The AC-2 is capable of measuring large samples up to 50mm X 50mm, powder samples and films on a surface.

Measurements can be taken is just 5min.

Other methods which require vacuum may take up to 30min for a measurement.

Any sample that emits photoelectrons can be measured.

Samples include metals, semiconductors, organics, magnetic and polarized materials as well as catalysts, Pigments and ceramics.
