What Does NPD Stand For?
NPD stands for Normal Photoelectron Diffraction
Normal Photoelectron Diffraction (NPD) is a surface-sensitive analytical technique used in material science and chemistry to investigate the structural properties of surfaces at the atomic level. By measuring the angular distribution of photoelectrons emitted from a material when it is excited by X-ray or ultraviolet radiation, NPD provides insights into surface morphology, electronic structure, and chemical composition. This method is particularly valuable for studying thin films, catalysts, and complex materials where surface interactions play a critical role.
