Article Synopsis
- The study explores using low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as an alternative calibration material for x-ray photoelectron spectrometers, instead of traditional materials like gold and silver.
- Researchers developed improved LDPE reference spectra, which led to a modest absolute offset of about 3.0% and systematic deviations averaging ±6.5% when compared to gold calibration methods.
- The study also highlights the challenges of using LDPE, including surface roughness and issues with low count rates, and provides an updated LDPE calibration protocol to enhance accuracy and consistency in the field.
