X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is effective for analyzing surface contamination and discoloration, as well as evaluating surface treatments. In addition to identifying elements, it also allows for the analysis of the bonding states of those elements.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) can obtain elemental information from the very surface of a sample (a few nm), making it effective for evaluating surface treatments and analyzing surface contamination and discoloration. It is capable not only of identifying elements but also of analyzing the bonding states of those elements. In this case, we will introduce the "investigation of discoloration on a material surface (nickel plating) using XPS." We explored the reasons for discoloration, which is a defect in nickel plating, through surface analysis with XPS. Please take a moment to read the PDF materials. Additionally, our company conducts various surface analyses, including GD-OES and Auger spectroscopy, in addition to XPS. We would be happy to assist you, so please feel free to reach out.
