HAXPES: a user platform providing analytical insights of surfaces and interfaces (HAXPES)

HAXPES-Lab is the name of the Hard X-ray PhotoElectron Spectroscopy tool consisting of an integrated (and automated) system including X-ray sources.
HArd X-ray PhotoElectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES) is a rapidly evolving analytical method providing much needed insight into material interactions at surfaces and burried layers and interfaces.
A consortium composed of Flemish academic and industrial partners create an easily accessible HAXPES user platform to boost applied research in areas like batteries, photovoltaics, catalysis, corrosion prevention and semiconductor devices. The presence of the manufacturer of the tool within the consortium and the complementary research by the partners on the fundamentals of HAXPES also contribute to the further optimization of this emerging technologie and enables its quantitative application. The envisioned multiuser facility leverages the extensive analytical portfolio and knowledge base available within the consortium which is composed of: UHasselt, VUB, KUL, Imec, Toyota-BE, Solvay and Scienta Omicron.
