Surface analysis of air-sensitive samples is difficult without controlled-environment sample transfer tubes or expensive vacuum transfer suitcases. Through the use of vacuum sealing and commercial magnets, we demonstrate a concept for a sample holder that can be used to transfer samples from an inert environment directly into an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. Our results show the efficacy of the holder through analysis of an air-sensitive CuCl powder, where oxidation was not observed when using the sample holder. This method offers a simple, low-cost alternative to enable routine air-free measurements in instrumentation with vacuum-controlled sample introduction chambers. Our aim with this report is to share the design so that this sample holder can be made anywhere where there is access to a basic machine shop.

用于实现无空气X射线光电子能谱的样品转移支架的设计

如果没有受控环境的样品转移管或昂贵的真空转移手提箱，对空气敏感样品的表面分析将非常困难。通过使用真空密封和商用磁体，我们演示了一种样品架的概念，该样品架可用于将样品从惰性环境直接转移到X射线光电子能谱仪中。我们的结果通过对空气敏感的CuCl粉末的分析显示了支架的功效，当使用样品支架时未观察到氧化。这种方法提供了一种简单，低成本的选择，可以在带有真空控制的样品引入室的仪器中进行常规的无空气测量。我们这份报告的目的是共享设计，以便可以在有基础机械车间的任何地方制造此样品架。
