Samples were prepared by affixing air-dried minerals onto a bar (sample area: 50 mm²) using indium foil (Plano GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany). Survey spectra were obtained in the binding energy range of 1200–0 eV (with a 1 eV resolution) under a pressure of 4 × 10⁷ Pa. The measurements utilized a pass energy of 160 eV, a dwell time of 500 ms, and comprised three sweeps per measurement cycle at a take-off angle of 0°. For each sample, three spectra were recorded at different locations (spot size: 300 × 700 µm). After charge correction for the Si 2p peak of quartz (103 eV), the spectra were analyzed using Vision 2 software (Kratos Analytical, Manchester, UK). Surface elemental composition was quantified in terms of atom percentage (at.-%) using the relative sensitivity factors incorporated in the software.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
