==Elemental analysis==
The XPS instrument enables elemental analysis, chemical state analysis on the sample surface or deeper down by a depth profiling. A comparison about techniques and instruments used for elemental analysis at DTU Nanolab can be found on the page [[Specific Process Knowledge/Characterization/Element analysis|Element analysis]].
More about the different possibilities of the XPS instrument is found here:
