2 Introduction New materials create new characterization challenges Full characterization requires a variety of experimental techniques 2
3 Introduction Techniques need to be chosen that provide complimentary information Elemental and chemical composition Molecular fingerprinting Composition with increasing depth Surface structure Morphology XPS Surface Analysis Microanalysis 3
4 Introduction to X-ray Microanalysis In an electron column, electrons are accelerated through an electric field, acquiring kinetic energy. The energy is transferred to the sample Yields a variety of signals for analysis 4
5 EDS Basic Overview Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX / EDS) Analysis of elemental content of micro-volumes using non-destructive techniques. Based on inner electron transitions between inner atomic shells. Energetic electron from an electron column dislodges an orbital electron. Electron from a higher energy shell fills the vacancy, losing energy in the process. The lost energy appears as emitted radiation of energy (characteristic X-Ray). 5
6 Electron Beam & Sample Interaction Interaction Volume The volume in which the primary electrons interact with a sample As electrons interact with the sample, they are scattered and spread. 6
7 Properties of X-Rays The relationship between Energy, Frequency, and Wavelength may be expressed by one formula E is the Energy of the radiation is the Wavelength of the radiation F is the Frequency of the radiation c is the speed of light 3 x cm/second h is Planck s constant x ev-sec = x erg-sec 7
8 Detectors Energy-dispersive detectors (EDS) Wavelength-dispersive detectors (WDS) Collect the full range of x-ray energies simultaneously Collect one element at a time via a diffracting crystal 8
9 Definition of a surface XPS surface analysis What is a surface? XPS measures Surfaces using XPS and angle resolved XPS Ultra-thin films using XPS and angle resolved XPS (ARXPS) Thin films using XPS in combination with sputter profiling Surface (1 nm) 3 atomic layers The modified layer is often far too thin to be characterized with most techniques. The extreme surface sensitivity of XPS ensures that only the top few nanometers of the sample are analyzed. Bulk Ultra-thin film (1 to 10 nm) 3-30 atomic layers Thin Film (10 nm to 2µm) atomic layers Note: Approximate layer thickness only. Actual values depend upon materials 9
10 XPS instrumentation UHV System Ultra-high vacuum keeps surfaces clean Allows longer photoelectron path length X-ray source Typically Al Ka radiation Monochromated using quartz crystal Low energy electron flood gun Low energy e - (and possibly Ar + ) Analysis of insulating samples Ion gun Typically noble gas ions Sample cleaning Depth profiling Electron transfer lens Flood gun Hemispherical analyser Detector Ion gun Mono crystal X-ray source 10
11 Basic XPS theory X-rays Photoelectron ejected Binding Kinetic Energy (ev) NaCl Surface is composed of atoms Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom, occupying orbitals at different energies Surface is irradiated with X-rays from a photon source X-rays cause electrons to be ejected (photoelectrons) Kinetic energy, KE, of photoelectrons is measured by an analyser The binding energy, BE, of the electrons is deduced from the kinetic energy and photon energy BE = h -KE Binding energy depends upon Element Orbital from which electron was ejected Chemical state of the element 11
12 Surface analysis and XPS O Elemental identification Which elements are present? Elemental identification Can detect all elements except for H Elemental quantification How much of an element is present? Detection limit >0.05% for most elements Allows determination of stoichiometry Zn 1200 Zn Fe F Ca C Cl S P Element At% P 0.29 S 0.29 Cl 0.22 C Ca O F 1.50 Fe 6.74 Zn 3.03 Mg 0.12 Binding energy / ev Elemental identification of tribology sample 12
