Explores the historical perspective, properties, and applications of X-rays, including diffraction, atomic resolution, and spectral colors of elements.
Discusses X-ray detectors' properties, sensitivity, and signal-to-noise ratio quantification, as well as systematic errors like flat field corrections.
Covers the principles of Scanning Electron Microscopy, including SEM signals, detectors, and energy spectrum of electrons, as well as the efficiency of X-ray generation.
Covers X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrometry (XPS), a surface analysis technique developed by Kai Siegbahn, explaining its components, mechanism, and analysis methods.
