Saint Aubin, October 1st, 2014
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are pleased to invite your company to participate in “International Workshop on Surface chemistry and NearAmbient Pressure Photoemission: new tools and new paradigms” (NAP-XPS), which will be organized, from 10th to
12th of December, by and at the French synchrotron radiation facility, SOLEIL.
X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful tool for the investigation of surfaces. Due to the strong
scattering of photoelectrons by gas molecules it has been mostly used under ultra-high vacuum conditions (pressure
<10-9 mbar), making it difficult to conduct investigations of surfaces under real-world conditions (i.e. in the presence of
gases, and possibly liquids), such as is the case of interfacial chemical reactions in catalysis, chemical vapor
deposition, electrochemistry and environmental chemistry. A considerable breakthrough was the construction of a new
type of photoemission spectrometer capable of operating at near ambient pressure (20 mbar, NAP-XPS). Initiated and
developed at LBNL in Berkeley, NAP-XPS has already provided remarkable results in the field of environmental
chemistry and catalysis. This technique opens entirely new avenues for measurements of surfaces using
photoelectron spectroscopy.
Concomitantly with this deep renewal of the XPS tool, we assist to a paradigmatic shift in the photoemission
studies from classical ultra-high vacuum surface science examined statically towards model systems under ambient
conditions with an emphasis on the dynamics. There exist six such functioning setups around the world, most of them
installed in synchrotron radiation facilities. It is thus time to review the present status, the latest developments and
future prospects of NAP-XPS in the field of surface and nano chemistry, covering both state-of-the-art experimental
and theoretical aspects.
Since January 2013, SOLEIL hosts the first machine of this type in France. The installation is managed by a
group of researchers from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie. The main objectives of the workshop are the following:
first take a snapshot of this fast developing field, second examine how this technique combines with theoretical
approaches, and third popularize the NAP-XPS technique among surface chemists and physical chemists.

We do believe that NAP-XPS 2014 is indeed a very beneficial platform for your company. During the three days,
your representatives will be in close contact with international scientific experts, in a stimulating environment, where
you could introduce new products and developments, and build new relationships with potential customers.
We would like to invite you to start planning your participation as an industrial exhibitor or sponsor. Different
options are available, which are detailed below. If you wish to join us, please fill in and send in the registration form.
For any further inquiries concerning exhibiting at and sponsoring NAP-XPS 2014, please contact [email protected]. Please note that the number of booths at the exhibition area is limited, and they
will be attributed on a first come first served basis.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Paris.
Yours sincerely,
SOLEIL User Office,
