Hi guys,
is there anyone who familar with xps? For Ni satellite, why the 2p1/2 satellithe only about 4.6ev? thx

XPS stands for X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, which is a surface analysis technique used to determine the elemental composition and chemical state of a material. Ni Satellite refers to the specific type of sample being analyzed, which in this case is nickel.
XPS works by shining a beam of X-rays onto the surface of the sample, causing electrons to be emitted from the atoms in the top few nanometers. These emitted electrons are then analyzed to determine the elemental composition and chemical state of the sample.
XPS is a highly sensitive and non-destructive technique, meaning it can provide detailed information about the surface of a sample without damaging it. It is also able to detect a wide range of elements and can provide information about the chemical bonding within a material.
XPS can be used to analyze a variety of solid samples, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and thin films. In this case, the focus is on nickel-containing materials, but XPS can also be used to analyze other elements such as carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen.
One limitation of XPS is that it can only analyze the top few nanometers of a sample, so it is not suitable for analyzing bulk materials. Additionally, XPS requires specialized equipment and expertise, so it may not be readily available in all research settings.
