29、8:2017(E)IntroductionX-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a technique widely employed to measure the chemical composition of material surfaces. In many applications, it is used to either confirm or deny the presence of an elemental species at a surface. In either case, it is important to unders
30、tand the minimal concentration of the element that can be detected by XPS under the measurement conditions either to provide an assessment of confidence in a result or to understand how the measurement conditions should be changed to achieve the required detection limit.This document provides a stra
31、ightforward approach to calculating detection limits in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy from experimental data in common analytical situations. It also provides informative annexes which allow the uncertainty in the calculated detection limit to be determined (see Annex A) and describe how the XPS
32、detection limit is defined (see Annex B). Example data and calculations are provided in Annex C. Annex D contains useful conversions and references which describe how detection limits may be estimated for an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer in the absence of any data except that from a reference mat
33、erial such as clean silver.These calculations are of critical importance because the technique is routinely used to measure the concentration of elements, which are present in low concentrations at a material surface, and knowledge of the limit of detection provides a statement of confidence when no
34、 element can be detected. Furthermore, if a particular detection limit is required, it permits the analyst to calculate the acquisition time required to achieve the specified limit of detection.
