# X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)

## Future

* Docmuentation (priority)
* Add database of inelastic mean free path (IMFP) of common materials

## X-ray Photonelectron Spectroscopy

### Example

An example analyzing a Ge peak fit within CasaXPS.

	import xps

	# Shortcut for the XPS machine at Dalhousie
	# xps_mach = 'Dalhousie'
	# mach = xps.mach_param[xps_mach]
	mach = {
		'coef' : [0.9033, -4.0724, 5.0677, 1.1066],
		'scale'     : 0.01,
		'work_func' : 4.6,
	}
	hv = xps.photon_energy['Al']

	# Pass energy [eV], found from XPS operator
	pe = 30

	sfwagner_Ge = xps.sf.Ge['3d']['area']

	data = xps.parser.CasaXPS('Ge_example.csv')

	# Labels defined by user in CasaXPS fits
	pk_lbl = 'Ge 3d'
	be = data.binding_energy(pk_lbl)
	area = data.area(pk_lbl)

	ke = xps.kinetic_energy(be, hv, mach['work_func'])

	t_fn = xps.transmission(ke, pe, mach['coef'], mach['scale'])
	t_fn_wagner = 1/ke # Proportional to 1/KE

	sf_mach = xps.sf_machine(sfwagner_Ge, t_fn, t_fn_wagner)

	pk_corr = xps.peak_correction(area, sf_mach)

	# NOTE Use the xps.XPSPeak(...) helper for convienence
	# analyzed_Ge = xps.XPSPeak(pk_lbl, be, area, sfwagner_Ge, hv, pe, mach)

	# NOTE Returns pandas.DataFrame with all parameters calculated.
	# The user can also query parameters individually
	# df = analyzed_Ge.df()

### Matrix Factor corrections

If using multple elements within a matrix (e.g. an alloy), you can utilize the
`xps.matrix_factor` function. You require the inelastic mean free path
of electron scattering (*imfp*) of both species in bulk and the density, as
well as the *imfp* of the matrix at the measured kinetic energies of both
elements. For example, if you have two corrected peaks: `pk_Mn_corr`, and
`pk_Ge_corr`. The *imfp* can be calculated using the TPP-2M equation for
inelastic mean free path, found in the following reference:

S. Tanuma, C. J. Powel, D. R. Penn, *Surf. Interf. Anal.*, Vol 21, 165 (1994)


	import xps
	# pk_Mn_corr and pk_Ge_corr calculated as in the example above

	# a is the kinetic energy used to determine imfp of Ge in Bulk
	imfp_matrix_a = 21.17
	imfp_Ge_a = 29.84
	rho_Ge_a = 5.32

	# b is the kinetic energy used to determine imfp of Mn in Bulk
	imfp_matrix_b = 14.17
	imfp_Mn_b = 14.87
	rho_Mn_b = 7.43

	mat_fact = xps.matrix_factor(imfp_Ge_a, imfp_Mn_b,
		mfp_matrix_a, mfp_matrix_b,
		rho_Ge_a, rho_Mn_b)
	relative_pk_Ge_corr = (pk_Ge_corr/pk_Mn_corr)*mat_fact

	# NOTE because Mn is used as the normalizing component we can use its
	# corrected peak value directly, all other elements require the matrix
	# factor correction
	print('Ratios of Mn and Ge in MnGe matrix')
	print('Mn : {:0.4e}'.format(pk_Mn_corr))
	print('Ge : {:0.4e}'.format(relative_pk_Ge_corr))

## Electron Inelastic Mean Free Path (IMFP)
Electron IMFP can be calculated from using the Tanuma, Powel, Penn modified
(TPP-2M) equation derived from equations (3), (4b,c,d,e) and (8) in the
following reference:

S. Tanuma, C. J. Powel, D. R. Penn, *Surf. Interf. Anal.*, Vol 21, 165 (1994)

For convienence the IMFP TPP-2M equation is located in `xps.scatter` and
can be used as such:

	from xps import scatter

	# Mn example
	kinetic_energy = 1000 # Can be calculated from xps.kinetic_energy

	rho = 7.43         # [g/cc]
	Nv = 7             # valence electrons
	M = 53.938         # atomic mass
	bandgap_energy = 0 # [eV]

	# Return SI units [m]
	imfp_Mn = scatter.imfp_TPP2M(kinetic_energy, rho, M, Nv,
		bandgap_energy, 'SI')

The value here can be used in the `xps.matrix_factor` calculations
outlined above.
