* '''Surface sensitivity:''' The inelastic mean free path of the photoelectrons is very short - as a result, photoelectrons from depths larger than some 10 monolayers will not contribute to the peaks as they have lost part of their kinetic energy. This makes XPS extremely surface sensitive. | * '''Surface sensitivity:''' The inelastic mean free path of the photoelectrons is very short - as a result, photoelectrons from depths larger than some 10 monolayers will not contribute to the peaks as they have lost part of their kinetic energy.
