The Si surface is cleaned in UHV by heating (flashing) and is exposed to different pressures of N2Oat altered temperatures. Thus oxynitride layers of different thickness and different properties are grown depending on the N2O pressure and the Si temperature. This isillustrated by a schematic diagram. The properties of the different oxynitride layers were studied by a combined photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) andphotoelectron spectroscopy (PES) investigation using highly monochromatic synchrotron radiation. The amount of oxygen and nitrogen incorporated in the oxynitridelayers is determined from the PES measurements. The typical surface morphology for different preparation conditions is shown in PEEM images.}, language = {en} } @article{MikaloSchmeisser, author = {Mikalo, Ricardo Pablo and Schmeißer, Dieter}, title = {Electric contacts on conductive polymers: sodium on poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl)}, abstract = {Sodium as a model contact with low work function on regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) films was investigated. The interface was studied by X-rayand ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy in the range of 0.13 up to 1.8 metal atoms per hexylthiophene unit. In the range of 0.13-0.26 sodium atoms per hexylthiophenering we find a change inthe surface potentials which is interpreted as a discharge of positive surface charges. Sodium exposures above 0.5 sodium atoms perhexylthiophene unit exhibit a reduction of the thiophene sulfur due to the formation of sodium sulfide and breaking of the thiophene ring.}, language = {en} } @misc{AggourStoerkelMurrelletal., author = {Aggour, Mohammed and Stoerkel, Ulrich and Murrell, Chris and Campbell, S.

It is possibleto handle samples with a size of 30 mm x 30 mm.With PEEM it is possible to visualise grain boundaries and crystal displacements without removing the native oxide. No special sample treatment is needed exceptchemical polishing of the sample surface and a HF-dip to obtain a thin (1 ... 2 nm) oxide layer.The quality of that oxide was proofed by high resolution photo electron spectroscopy (PES) at a synchrotron. The results were compared to native oxide onsingle-crystalline Si and no suboxides (e.g. SiO) were found. Our spectromicroscopic PEEM measurements show no difference in the oxide qualities of different grainsand on grain boundaries or crystal displacements. Furthermore no difference in the binding energy of Si2p core levels were found.In addition to grain boundaries other spot-like features were found on the sample surface. These could be identified in some cases as precipitation of Ca underneath thenative oxide.}, language = {en} } @misc{MuellerHenkelMikaloetal., author = {M{\"u}ller, Klaus and Henkel, Karsten and Mikalo, Ricardo Pablo and Paloumpa, Ioanna and Schmeißer, Dieter}, title = {Elektronik mit organischen Materialien}, publisher = {BTU Cottbus, Eigenverlag}, abstract = {Plastikelektronik, flexible Solarzellen, intelligente Kleidung, neuartige und maßgeschneiderte Transducer f{\"u}r die Gas-, Fl{\"u}ssigkeits- und Biosensorik, all dies sind Anwendungen, die ohne halbleitende Polymere nicht denkbar w{\"a}ren und die Bereiche erschließen, in denen zur Zeit eine regelrechte Goldgr{\"a}berstimmung herrscht.
