XPS: PHI VersaProbe III, and more detailed description in experimental section if required:
 

“The XPS spectra were collected using monochromatic 1486.7 eV Al Kα X-ray source on PHI VersaProbe III X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer with a 0.47 eV spectral resolution. The spectral energy and linerity have been calibrated using Cu 2p3/2 (932.62 eV), Ag 3d5/2 (368.21 eV)  and Au 4f7/2 (83.96 eV) peaks collected on cleaned copper, silver and gold foils.”

UPS: installed on PHI VersaProbe II XPS system

“The UPS spectra were collected using He Iα (21.22 eV) source on PHI VersaProbe II XPS system; spectra were referenced to the Fermi level, which was determined from a UPS spectrum of a clean gold foil. For work function meansurements a -5 V bias was applied to the sample so that the cut-off edge on the left side of valence band can be collected.”

XRD: Rigaku SmartLab XRD:

“The XRD instrument includes a Cu Kα source with a beam energy of 8.04 keV, corresponding to an X-ray wavelength of 1.5406 Å.”

Rigaku 2D detector: HyPix-3000, pixels: 385 x 775

SEM: Hitachi SU8230 CFE SEM with BRUKER XFlash 5060FQ Annual EDS detector.

FIB-SEM: Helios G4 UX system with UltraDry MANUAL EDS and LUMIS EBSD detector.

PPMS: PPMS® DynaCool™; 

XRF: Rigaku ZSX Primus II XRF:

“The Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer adopts Rh Kα source with a beam energy of 20.2161 keV, corresponding to an X-ray wavelength of 0.6147 Å.”
