Publisher's Synopsis
This database examines the use of the Scienta ESCA300 spectrometer in polymer surface analysis. The prototype, developed jointly with ICI, has been used in the systematic reinvestigation of over 100 standard homo polymers. It provides the full spectral information: survey and core line regions (with fitted components), shake-up spectra, valence bands and in some cases, Auger spectra. All the data are parameterized and tabulated, and full details of sample preparation etc. are given. The instrument performance and operating conditions are extensively documented.
