Theory and Background #
There appear to be no direct published studies of polonium by XPS available in the scientific literature. Due to polonium’s extreme radioactivity and rarity, performing XPS on polonium poses significant experimental challenges and safety concerns, which likely explains the absence of experimental XPS reports.
