Recent applications of hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) demonstrate its many capabilities in addition to several of its limitations. Examples are given, including measurement of buried interfaces and materials under in-situ or in-operando conditions, as well as measurements under x-ray standing-wave and resonant excitation. We also present physical considerations that differentiate HAXPES from photoemission measurements utilizing soft and ultraviolet x rays.
