Event
Electron Spectroscopy Workshop at Portland State University
Portland State University and Physical Electronics (PHI) are pleased to cohost an Electron Spectroscopy Workshop; featuring highlights of recent work in the surface analysis field with a focus on the application of the most common electron spectroscopy technique, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The workshop will include an update of XPS and complimentary surface analysis instrumentation and a review of unique features of PSU's systems that allow for the study of heterogeneous materials. The workshop will end with a tour of the surface analysis laboratory at the Center for Electron Microscopy & Nanofabrication facility (CEMN)
