X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy simulator
Xerxes Steirer | ksteirer@mines.edu
A new X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) machine at Mines have come online with advanced capabilities on one-of-a-kind apparatus. XPS provides many ways to affect and probe fundamental physics and chemistry of materials. This project seeks to expand and improve a fundamental XPS simulation tool that could allow for a wider range of people to study XPS around the world. This experience will also introduce students to exciting technologies based in solid state physics and chemistry such as photovoltaics, catalysis, water splitting and energy storage.
