Sample charging is the perennial enemy of XPS. Avantage 24 integrates a new "Dual-Beam Charge Compensation Assistant" that uses a low-energy electron flood gun combined with an ion flood gun. The software analyzes the resulting C 1s adventitious carbon peak (or an internal Au reference) and automatically calculates a drift-corrected binding energy scale with sub-0.1 eV accuracy. The manual trial-and-error method is now a relic.
Thermo Avantage XPS Software 24 introduces an enhanced peak fitting and quantification module, allowing users to accurately analyze and interpret complex XPS spectra. Thermo Avantage Xps Software 24
The analyst selects the Ni 2p region. Version 24’s Smart Fitting suggests a 3-peak model: Ni(OH)2 (855.6 eV), NiO (854.1 eV), and a satellite. The analyst accepts the suggestion, and the software calculates the atomic percentages automatically. Sample charging is the perennial enemy of XPS
V2.4 features enhanced automated routines for energy scale calibration, ensuring that your binding energy assignments remain precise over long-term studies. 2. Advanced Data Processing Capabilities The manual trial-and-error method is now a relic
: Specialized modules for managing "sputter" depth profiles, which allow users to see how chemical composition changes from the surface into the bulk of a material [5].
Within 5 seconds, Avantage 24’s AI engine labels all major peaks. It flags a small F 1s peak (contamination) and a large C 1s peak (adventitious carbon). The user simply confirms the assignments.
