La spectroscopie de photoélectrons consiste à analyser en énergie les électrons émis d'une substance irradiée par un rayonnement électromagnétique X ou UV (ultraviolet). [...] La source de photons peut être soit un tube à rayons X (on parle alors d'XPS [X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy]) [...], soit une lampe UV (on parle alors d'UPS [ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy]) [...] 3, record 1, French, - spectroscopie%20de%20photo%C3%A9lectrons%20XPS
