for analyzing the peaks of Cu, Zn and O under X-ray photoluminescence analysis
Yes, what exactly is the question?
And do you want to measure XPS, that's photoelectron spectroscopy, or photoluminescence? These are two different methods having only the radiation source in common.
Jürgen Weippert sir i want to study the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of ZnO and CuO nanostructures. thank you for giving clarity in this. kindly suggest me the scan range of XPS for elemental analysis of Zn, Cu and O.
If I understand you correctly, you want to specify the XPS binding energy scan ranges? You can look in the common databases and online e.g. http://www.lasurface.com, to check the expected range and to obtain reference spectra for you materials.
OK. So, first you take a survey. This should have a range maybe starting from 100eV and go a bit beyond your excitation energy, i.e. if you use Al-Kalpha to 1500eV (if you use Mg-Kalpha, reduce every kinetic energy in the following by 233eV).
Then you select the commonly analyzed peaks of the elements and scan a range of at least 20eV around them. These would be (binding energy/kinetic energy of center for Al-Kalpha):
O1s (ca. 532/954)
Cu2p3/2 (ca. 933/553), you could add the range of Cu2p1/2 (ca. 953/533)
Zn2p3/2 (ca. 1022/464), you could add the range of Zn2p1/2 (ca. 1044/442)
If you observe a satellite which may e.g. occur by a shakeup in Cu, see https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_the_high_energy_doublet_feature_near_Cu_3p_XPS_spectrum , you may have to expand your range a bit, but you'll see that when you do it.
Jürgen Weippert thanks a lot for your suggestions and kind help sir.
Dear Ravi SHANKAR Rai
I think these papers will be helpful for you
Dear Nadir Fadhil Habubi ,
while these are good papers, I highly recommend posting links instead of pdfs in the future to prevent yourself from trouble. Elsevier isn't exactly the most tolerant publisher when it comes to interpretations of copyright issues and those papers don't seem to be open access.
Kindly refer to the XPS section of the following article:

Hope this answers your question!
