Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This proposal is to support the acquisition of an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) system with ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) unit and sample pre-treatment attachments. Key elements make this system a unique state of the art facility with unprecedented analytical capabilities. In addition to high performance XPS chemical analysis, the custom configuration is designed to provide first-time analytical capabilities for inorganic, organic and biological samples processed by atmospheric pressure plasma technologies. The equipment also takes advantage of its geographical location, as it will be the only XPS-based system available in Northern Ireland therefore serving regionally the research community and industrial collaborators. Furthermore it relies on the strengths of the host institution, Ulster University (UU), which brings together internationally recognised expertise in plasma processes, materials processing and characterization together with complementary in-house facilities that will provide important and highly valuable synergies.
