XPS MultiQuant: a step towards expert systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A thorough evaluation of photoelectron spectra is impossible without involvement of data systems. It is advantageous if the different programmes are easily able to communicate with each other. This connectivity may also serve as a base for future expert systems. The well-known VAMAS file format provides the first necessary step, converting the spectra into forms portable between various platforms. In this paper, a new file format, the XPS Reduced Data Exchange File, is proposed, which defines an ‘interface’ between programs to transfer the derived XPS data. XPS MultiQuant, which can be used routinely together with various spectrum processing packages to improve the flexibility and precision of quantitative calculations, is a typical target application requiring transfer of reduced experimental data (e.g., selected elements, line position, intensity data, etc.). The latest version of XPS MultiQuant already implements the XPS Reduced Data Exchange Files proposed here, to transfer necessary data between programs. Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

XPS MultiQuant: multimodel XPS quantification software
A program for quantitative evaluation of x-ray photoelectron spectra has been developed to serve as a practical tool for surface chemists. The program uses the ‘classic’ approach of quantification and requires as input the integrated intensities of the measured XPS lines. The usual correction methods and factors can be applied and controlled independently. All necessary basic data for calculati...

متن کاملStudy of mesoporous CdS-quantum-dot-sensitized TiO2 films by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and AFM
CdS quantum dots were grown on mesoporous TiO2 films by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction processes in order to obtain CdS particles of various sizes. AFM analysis shows that the growth of the CdS particles is a two-step process. The first step is the formation of new crystallites at each deposition cycle. In the next step the pre-deposited crystallites grow to form larger aggregat...
