X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a surface sensitive analytic tool used to study the surface composition and electronic state of a sample.
X- Ray diffraction is a tool for the investigation of the fine structure of matter. This technique had its beginning in von Laue's' discovery in 1912 that crystals diffract x-rays, the manner of the diffraction revealing the structure of the crystal.
X-Ray refers to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum whose radiation has somewhat greater frequencies and smaller wavelengths than those of ultraviolet radiation; namely, that radiation lying between ultraviolet and gamma-ray in the electromagnetic spectrum.
