The Physical Sciences Data-science Service is a National Research Facility which brings together tools and resources for UK researchers in physical sciences, including chemistry, crystallography, materials and related fields. It provides access to web-based data services are which are freely accessible for academic users from the UK.

We offer access to state-of-the-art spectrometers for photoelectron spectroscopy in our main laboratory based at the Research Complex at Harwell (RCaH).

Together with our partner hubs offering specialist analysis at Cardiff University, UCL and the University of Manchester, the Harwell XPS service provides access to a wider range of XPS analysis methods than previously available to UK academia and industry, including:

• XPS and UPS
• Angle Resolved XPS (ARXPS)
• XPS Imaging
• Ion Scattering...
