• Theory of photoemission and electronic structure

• XPS (elemental / chemical sensitivity, cross sections, quantification, examples)

• UPS (gas phase, adsorbates, 2D band structures, 3D band structures, orbital tomography)

• IPES (probing of unoccupied states, energy level alignment determination)

• HAXPES (depth-resolved photoemission measurements, examples)

• PEEM (spatially-resolved photoemission measurements, examples)

• NEXAFS (principle and examples)

• XES & RIXS (principle and examples)

• Structure of surfaces/ diffraction at surfaces (LEED, definitions and examples)

• X-ray spectroscopy – based materials research on energy conversion devices (examples from current research)
