ARXPS
6
Depth profile
z = depthλ = mean free pathθ = emission angleλ’ = observation depth
7
How is z related to Is ?
λ’ = λ cos θ
Io attenuated exponentially
according to Beer Lambert law
the observed depth information varies with photoelectron detection angle θ
8
Angular resolved XPS
z = depthλ = mean free pathθ = emission angle (relative to surface
normal)
λ’ = observation depthλ’ = λ cos θ
9
Angular resolved XPS
λ’ = λ cos θz = depth
λ = mean free pathθ = emission angle (relative to
surface normal)
λ’ = observation depth
the observed depth information varies with photon energy

XPS & ARXPS applied to fluidA challenging investigation
Needs for producing “well-behaved” liquid beam in vacuum
12
1. Liquids of sufficient low vapour pressure (< 1 Torr).• Cooled to -40 0C• Droplet formation for high vapour
pressure• Loss of PE when absorbed by the vapor
2. Surface smoothness3. Sample charging effect

Liquid lamella
• Produced flat liquid surface

Liquid microjet
• Vacuum jet consists of a smooth continuous region of liquid water, which decays into droplet at a distance of approximately 5mm.
• Allowed studies of liquids with higher vapour pressure, example: water.
• However, using HeI radiation, only the outer valence region could be probed.
The size of the jet was reduced to the μ size range.

Application of ARXPS in researchSurfactant
Concentration depth profile of TBAI in FA from C 1s
Used chemical shift to evaluate the relative intensities due to TBAI and FA.
The contributions from TBAI, FAliq and FAgas are separated.
The ratio of the peak area of TBAI to that of FAliq are determined for many combinations of photonenergies and observation angles. 16

Application of ARXPS in researchSurfactant
Concentration depth profile of TBAI in FA from C 1s
Single molecular layer is assumed to be 1.5 Å thick.
Large decrease in salt conc. after 3rd layer.
The thickness of the enhanced salt conc. was estimated to be about 12 Å.
Given diameter of TBA+ is 9.5 Å, the thickness of enhanced salt corresponds to 1 monolayer of salt.
TBA+ ions have preferred orientation near the surface17

Application of ARXPS in researchBehaviour of hydroxide at the water interface
O1s XPS (microjet) spectra of NaOH 0.2 – 2M aqueous solutions
Spectral contributions from H2O(gas), H2O(aq), and OH-(aq) @ 600eV were assigned.
Zoom into the OH-(aq) 2pπ.
Fully quantitative of OH-
intensity was not visible here as the intensity of O1s peak was small.

Application of ARXPS in researchBehaviour of hydroxide at the water/vapour interface
Experimental and computational calculations suggest that:
OH- do not have any special surface binding site.
There is linear dependence of the interfacial OH- signal on its bulk concentration.
20
Bernd Winter et. al., Chemical Physics Letters 474 (2009) 241–247
Some earlier studies suggest that OH- strongly accumulates within the interfacial region (cluster?). The debates are still
on going …

ConclusionARXPS is highly surface sensitive. Possible to probe
depth profile as small as 1.5 nm.
ARXPS is very sensitive to study interfacial at various depths at microscopic scale.
Still challenging to deal with fluid samples, especially high vapor pressure solution.
