X - Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Silicate Glasses

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful technique capable of providing unique information about the structural chemistry of glasses. However, inappropriate procedures for the preparation of sample surfaces or the lack of reliable methods to overcome electrostatic charging effects during analysis of dielectric materials can cause spurious features to be introduced or intrinsic featu...

Charge transfer in nanocrystalline-Au/ZnO nanorods investigated by x-ray spectroscopy and scanning photoelectron microscopy

O Kand Zn and Au L3-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure XANES , x-ray emission spectroscopy XES , and scanning photoelectron microscopy SPEM are performed to investigate the electronic structure of ZnO nanorods with nanocrystalline nc -Au particles grown on the surfaces. The XANES spectra of nc-Au/ZnO nanorods reveal the decrease of the number of both O 2p and Zn 4s /3d unoccupied states ...

Photoelectron X-ray Microscopy

The soft-X ray range, between 1-10 nm wavelength, is highly interesting for X-ray microscopy. Taking advantage of it requires, however, to operate a high resolution instrument at a variable wavelength. We describe here an image converter X-ray microscope which is based on secondary pharoemission. This instrument is now developped at the Institut dlOptique (Orsay); it will be installed near ACO ...
