XPS and AES characterization of hydrolysed γ‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane deposited on Al,Zn and Al–43.4Zn–1.6Si alloy‐coated steel

In this paper Al, Zn and Al–43.4Zn–1.6Si (AlZn) alloy‐coated steel have been treated with the organofunctional silane γ‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (γ‐MPS). The influence of different metal substrates on the structure and composition of the silane films was investigated with XPS and AES. The films were obtained by dipping the substrates in the silane solution followed by a blow‐dry procedure in nitrogen gas. The results show that the surface concentration of the deposited silane is independent of the metal substrate and that the thickness of the silane film is non‐uniform. The AES measurements indicate that the silane film covers the entire substrate surface and XPS analysis of the silane‐treated substrate surfaces at different take‐off angles indicates that the γ‐MPS molecule is randomly orientated. Also, the results show that the silane is well hydrolysed under the solution conditions used. Finally, in the zinc‐containing silane‐metal systems, i.e. the silane‐treated AlZn and Zn substrates, the results indicate that the γ‐MPS molecules can bond to the substrate surfaces via the thiol group of the molecule.

ZrO2对合成二甲醚双功能催化剂表面结构及催化性能的影响

采用共沉淀沉积法制备了Cu基双功能催化剂，并进行了合成气一步法制取二甲醚实验．XRD、XPS以及BET表征结果表明，催化剂中ZrO2以无定形状态存在，且随着其含量的增加，Zr^4 逐渐溶进CuO晶格，两者之间的电子交换使得Cu^2 在活化过程中很难被彻底还原为Cu^0，而是以Cu^0/Cu^ 的形式共存．活性评价结果表明，Cu^ 离子表现出优异的CO转化率和DME选择性．同时，ZrO2的存在能有效调节催化剂表面的Cu／Zn摩尔比以及促进Cu元素在表面的富集，从而改善催化剂性能．     

镨掺杂Bi2Sr3Co2O9+δ电子结构的XPS研究

研究了Pr掺杂Bi2Sr3Co2O9+δ体系的X射线光电子能谱,发现随着体系中Pr掺杂量的增大,内层电子结合能有缓慢增大的趋势,但掺杂量达到0.6时,测得的电子结合能减少0.4 eV左右,与分析材料中费米能级变化引起的结合能变化趋势相反.考虑到掺杂量达到0.6时,材料发生金属-绝缘体转变,所得到的表观结合能减少可能是绝缘体样品相对于样品底座存在正的电势差所引起的.

New Rare Earth（Ⅲ） Complexes with H2tmtaa

A series of Ln(tmtaa)(Htmtaa)·CH_2Cl_2(Ln=Sm,Tb,Er and Yb)complexes were prepared and characterized byinfrared spectra,mass spectra and molecular electronic spectroscopy as well as DSC measurement.A sandwichstructure containing all the eight nitrogen atoms of tmtaa and Htmtaa was proposed for these complexes.X-rayphotoelectron spectra(XPS)of these complexes revealed that four nitrogen atoms of both tmtaa and Htmtaa werechemically equivalent to each other,respectively.The acidic hydrogen of Htmtaa did not bind specifically to any ni-trogen atom of Htmtaa,but was shared by all the four nitrogen atoms.The magnetic properties of these complexeswere found to be in good agreement with their theoretical values.     

Characterisation of the Kratos Axis Ultra with spherical mirror analyser for XPS imaging

The imaging performance of an XPS instrument employing a spherical mirror electron energy analyser has been characterised by measuring the peak position, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and lineshape, at every pixel in the image, for different modes of operation. Changes in these parameters have been identified and recommendations made for quantification of, and chemical state determination from, spectrum image data sets.

Quantitative surface analysis by Auger and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Recent developments in quantitative surface analysis by Auger (AES) and x-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopies are reviewed and problems relating to a more accurate quantitative interpretation of AES/XPS experimental data are discussed. Special attention is paid to consideration of elementary physical processes involved and influence of multiple scattering effects on signal line intensities. In particular, the major features of core-shell ionization by electron impact, Auger transitions and photoionization are considered qualitatively and rigorous approaches used to calculate the respective transition probabilities are analysed. It is shown that, in amorphous and polycrystalline targets, incoherent scattering of primary and signal Auger and photoelectrons can be described by solving analytically a kinetic equation with appropriate boundary conditions. The analytical results for the angular and energy distribution, the mean escape depth, and the escape probability as a function of depth of origin of signal electrons as well as that for the backscattering factor in AES are in good agreement with the corresponding Mote Carlo simulation data. Methods for inelastic background subtraction, surface composition determination and depth-profile reconstructions by angle-resolved AES/XPS are discussed. Examples of novel techniques based on x-ray induced photoemission are considered.     

ToF‐SIMS studies of the oxidation of Fe by D2O vapour: comparison with XPS

The oxidation of iron (Fe) by water (D₂O) vapour at low pressures and room temperature was investigated using time‐of‐flight (ToF) SIMS. The results supported those found previously using XPS and the QUASES^? program in that a duplex oxide structure was found containing a thin outer surface hydroxide (Fe(OD)₂) layer over an inner oxide (FeO) layer. The extraordinary depth resolution of the ToF‐SIMS profiles assisted in identifying the two phases; this resolution was achieved by compensation for surface roughness. A substantial concentration of deuterium was found in the subsurface oxide layer. This observation confirmed previous assessments that the formation of FeO was from the reaction of Fe(OD)₂ with outward‐diffusing Fe, leaving deuterium as a reaction product.
