XPS Workshop

Goal

The workshop mainly aims at researchers who (plan to) include X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy as characterization method in their studies.

You will learn about the fundamentals, the potential and the restrictions of the method.
The main goal of the workshop is to improve your skills in planning your XPS measurements and in peak fitting / interpreting the measured spectra.

 

Schedule

The workshop will start on 11th November and mainly be held online (with Thomas Diemant) but you will also perform an XPS measurement in groups of two. These measurements can either be done at the IAM-ESS with Vanessa Trouillet for researchers from Karlsruhe or at the HIU with Thomas Diemant for researchers from Ulm. Individual appointments will be made for this with the groups.

Registration

The workshop is open for GS-EES, CELEST and HIU members and guests of DESTINY.
GS-EES members will gain 1 CP within „Scientific Training”.

The number of participants for the XPS measurements (mandatory for gaining GS-EES CPs) is restricted to 12 in Karlsruhe and 12 in Ulm.
There are no restrictions for the number of participants in the online lectures.

Registration is closed.
