Photoelectron Spectroscopy In Air for Surface Analysis

RKI Instruments has introduced the Model AC-2 Photoelectron Spectrometer. Designed for atmospheric pressure operation, it consists of an open counter equipped with a UV source.

The instrument measures Ionization Potential and Work Function of Surfaces IN AIR (without vacuum).

The open counter is a unique electron detector which can be operated in open air (without vacuum) and has been used for photoelectron spectroscopy in the air (PESA). By combining the open counter with a UV source, the AC-2 PESA instrument opens the way to a new dimension in surface analysis.

The AC-2 is capable of measuring large samples up to 50 mm X 50 mm, powder samples and films on a surface.

Measurements can be taken is JUST 5 MINUTES.Other methods which require vacuum may take up to 30 minutes for a measurement.

Any sample that emits photoelectrons can be measured. Samples include Metals, Semiconductors, Organics, Magnetic and Polarized Materials as well as Catalysts, Pigments and Ceramics.
