Cesium, a highly reactive alkali metal, has several important applications due to its unique properties. It is widely used in atomic clocks, which are essential for maintaining precise time standards. Cesium is also utilized in photoelectric cells, vacuum tubes, and as a catalyst promoter in various chemical reactions. Additionally, cesium compounds are employed in the production of optical glasses and in medical imaging.
Cesium can suffer preferential sputtering during XPS ion etching studies owing to it’s high volatility.
Cesium exhibits typically symmetric peaks.
