SURFAMET

Course Philosophy

Surfamet is pleased to offer courses in surface analysis with a particular emphasis on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These courses are taught by Dr. Filippo Mangolini, who has more than 15 years of experience in performing and interpreting surface-analytical results. More than 50 students have already attended classes taught by Dr. Mangolini focusing on the principles and operation of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The goal of the courses is to provide attendees with knowledge of state-of-the-art methods for acquiring, processing, and interpreting XPS results through examples and hands-on activities. The courses approach XPS from a practical point of view, teaching attendees how to acquire high-quality data while providing them with the necessary tools to evaluate and interpret the results. By the end of the course, attendees are able to critically assess results based on XPS measurements.

Specific Onsite XPS Training Information

Surfamet is pleased to offer XPS training courses at customer locations. These courses are tailored to meet the needs of the customers and address their specific spectroscopic or imaging needs. These sessions are typically done with customer equipment, although options to focus on processing XPS data acquired by third parties are available.

A variety of multi-day workshops (from 1- to 3-day) are available, including:

1. Introduction to XPS

2. XPS Data Acquisition & basic methods for XPS data processing

3. Advanced methods for XPS analysis & data processing
