Tutorial videos on the application of XPS inelastic background for characterization of composition and morphology of nano-structures with QUASES software

<p>The tutorial videos illustrate the&nbsp;application of XPS inelastic background analysis for characterization of composition and morphology of nano-structures with QUASES software.</p> <p><strong>For an introduction to the method, see:</strong><br> S. Tougaard &quot;Practical guide to the use of backgrounds in quantitative XPS.&quot;&nbsp;<em>J Vac Sci Technol A</em>. 2021;39:011201. doi:10.1116/6.0000661<br> S. Tougaard &quot;Accuracy of the non-destructive surface nanostructure quantification technique based on analysis of the XPS or AES peak shape&quot;. <em>Surf Interface Anal</em>. 1998;26(4):249-269. doi:<a href="https://doi-org.proxy1-bib.sdu.dk/10.1002/(SICI)1096-9918(199804)26:4%3C249::AID-SIA368%3E3.0.CO;2-A">https://doi-org.proxy1-bib.sdu.dk/10.1002/(SICI)1096-9918(199804)26:4&lt;249::AID-SIA368&gt;3.0.CO;2-A</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The inelastic background analysis was done with the QUASES-Tougaard software . See www. quases.com.</p> <p>It is recommended to read first the short description in the pdf file:&nbsp;<strong>Guide to the 14 posted videos.pdf.</strong> This explains briefly the purpose of each video.&nbsp;</p> <p>To best understand what is done in Video 9&nbsp; (&quot;9.Practical procedure to correct for elastic electron scattering.mp4&quot;) you should first watch Video 8, then Video 6 and then Video 9.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
