Description

Sulfur X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) of an aerosol sample collected by an Andersen sampler were measured using a synchrotron beam line. While the XPS was more surface sensitive than XAS, the detection limit of XAS was better than that of XPS. It was concluded that the XAS was more suitable for the chemical state analysis of sulfur in aerosol samples than XPS. (Copyright (c) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam. All rights reserved.)
