Title: Importance of standard terminology in surface chemical analysis: ISO 18115-1:2023, general terms and terms used in spectroscopy

The International Standard ISO 18115-1 on terminology in surface chemical analysis has been revised with clarifications, modifications, and deletions to more than 70 terms and with the addition of more than 50 terms in response to trends, issues, and needs identified by the surface analysis community. This revision adds terminology and concepts associated with emerging methods such as atom probe tomography, near ambient pressure XPS, and hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It includes 25 new and revised terms to ensure that the description of resolution is consistent across all surface analysis methods. The 630 terms in the document cover words or phrases used in describing the samples, instruments, and concepts involved in surface chemical analysis. Here, the terms have been collated into subject specific sections to ensure that related terms can be found easily.
