Champion International Donates XPS Spectrometer to our MRSEC

In March, 2000 Champion International donated a PHI 5500 ESCA (XPS)/ISS system with a secondary ion mass spectrometer to our MRSEC. This instrument is located in the MRSEC Shared Laboratory. It is capable of performing ESCA, ESCA mapping, ESCA depth profiling, static SIMS, and ISS, all under computer control. In the ESCA mode, the system can run multiple samples under automatic control. ESCA can be run in either the static mode (analysis of a fixed area) or in a mapping mode. This donation is the beginning of increased interactions between the research efforts at Champion and our MRSEC.
