For example, hydrogen is most abundant as impurity in thin film materials – depending on the deposition process – and has great influence on the chemical, physical and electrical properties of many materials. Existing bulk reference materials (RMs) are not suited for surface sensitive analytical methods like elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) or nuclear reaction analysis (NRA). To overcome this serious lack of (certified) thin-layer reference materials for the determination of hydrogen in the near-surface region (1–2 µm depth), we produced stable, homogeneous amorphous silicon layers on Si-wafers (aSi:H–Si) by means of chemical vapour deposition (CVD), while about 10% of hydrogen was incorporated in the Si-layer. Homogeneity and stability were proved by NRA whereas traceability of reference values has been assured by an international interlaboratory comparison.

T1 - Modifying single-crystalline silicon by femtosecond laser pulses: an analysis by micro Raman spectroscopy, scanning laser microscopy and atomic force microscopy N2 - The surface modification of single-crystalline silicon induced by single 130 femtosecond (fs) Ti:sapphire laser pulses (wavelength 800 nm) in air is investigated by means of micro Raman spectroscopy (?-RS), atomic force microscopy and scanning laser microscopy. Depending on the laser fluence, in some regions the studies indicate a thin amorphous top-layer as well as ablated and recrystallized zones. The single-pulse threshold fluences for melting, ablation and polycrystalline recrystallization are determined quantitatively. Several different topographical surface structures (rims and protrusions) are found. Their formation is discussed in the context of recent studies of the laser irradiation of silicon. In combination with a thin-film optical model, the thickness of the amorphous layer is determined by two independent and nondestructive optical methods to be in the order of several 10 nm.

T1 - Molecular dynamics of polymers in random nanometer confinements investigated by relaxational scattering techniques N2 - Dielectric spectroscopy and temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry are employed to study the molecular dynamics of oligomeric poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) melts of different molecular weights confined to nanoporous glasses (pore sizes 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 20 nm). Moreover, the results obtained for the polymers are compared with those for the corresponding monomer. The experimental results are discussed in the framework of the interplay of confinement and adsorption effects. For large pore sizes (> 5 nm) a speeding up of the molecular dynamics is observed (the confinement effect), whereas for small pore sizes (< 5 nm) a slowing down of the segmental fluctuations is found (the adsorption effect). In addition, a minimal length scale for the glass transition of 1.6 nm is estimated for PPG confined in nanoporous glasses. This supports the idea that the molecular motions responsible for the glassy dynamics must be describable by a characteristic length scale. Polarized Raman scattering investigations are carried out to investigate the conformations of the macromolecules inside the pores. These experiments show that the confined polymer chains are locally stretched. This effect increases with decreasing pore size.

Surface analytical techniques, such as XPS, depth profile (DP), and micro-Raman spectroscopy (?-RS) were used to identify the chemical changes between untreated and laser-treated areas. Single-pulse irradiation led to material modifications in the condensed state in most instances. Multi-pulse results differed depending on the pulse duration. Crystal structure changes were observed as a consequence of laser-induced melting and resolidification. In air contact all components underwent oxidation reactions according to thermodynamic expectations. Exceptions were observed under exclusion of oxygen, SiC was reduced to elemental Si.

The Raman spectrum of Maya blue shows extra bands assigned to vibrational modes of Bu symmetry as well as an increasing intensity of some other bands. The partial removal of the mutual exclusion rule for the centrosymmetric indigo molecule is supposed to indicate a loss of its planarity due to strong adsorption at the palygorscite matrix.

The formation of La-Cr compounds such as La2CrO6, LaCrO4 was shown to occur by calcination of CrOx/La2O3 and CrOx/La2O3/ZrO2 at 600 °C. With a Cr content of ca. 4 wt.%, it was revealed that, having been reduced to Cr3+-containing compounds, La2CrO6 and/or LaCrO4 in both systems may be restored by reoxidation at 600 °C. In the case of CrOx/La2O3/ZrO2 catalysts, it is suggested that these compounds were real surface species anchored as an overlayer on zirconia. Such a structure may stabilise, on the one hand, the tetragonal modification of zirconia and, on the other hand, highly dispersed state of Cr species in calcined as well as in reduced catalysts.

T1 - Bulk and surface properties of highly dispersed VOx/ZrO2, VOx/SiO2 and VOx/TiO2/SiO2 systems and their relevance for propane oxidation N2 - Highly dispersed vanadium-doped metal oxides such as VOx/ZrO2, VOx/SiO2 and VOx/TiO2/SiO2 with vanadium contents between 0 and 25 mole% were prepared by special bulk preparation methods (coprecipitation and sol–gel, followed by freeze-drying). Bulk and surface properties of the obtained mixed oxide solid solutions were thoroughly investigated by different analytical methods (Raman and FTIR spectroscopy, TPD, H2-TPR, oxygen isotope measurements etc.). Moreover, the catalytic behaviour of the oxides was studied for the example of the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane to propylene. Independent of the preparation method, the catalytic behaviour of vanadium-doped ZrO2 and TiO2 phases is very similar. Both metal oxide solid solutions are very active in propane ODH whereas the catalytic activity of VOx/SiO2 is relatively low. On the other hand, the reduction of the catalytic activity is accompanied by an improved selectivity for the formation of propylene. The correlation between the catalytic activity and the acidity of the oxide systems is discussed. Oxidation experiments with 18O2 clearly show that the ODH reaction occurs according to the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism.

T1 - Thermal and Raman-spectroscopic analysis of Maya Blue carrying artefacts, especially fragment IV of the Codex Huamantla N2 - Maya Blue, a pigment composed of very low concentrations of natural indigo and the clay mineral palygorskite, is one of the most brilliant blue dyes, intensively used for more than 2000 years in Mesoamerica. It is extremely stable against environmental attacks and was applied by the Indians for inside and outside mural paintings, ceramics, textiles and for colouring their famous codices. In the present paper it was studied as a powder (compared with modern synthetic indigo) and as colour on tissues, a Maya clay head, and fragment IV of the famous Codex Huamantla. Investigations using Raman spectroscopy in the visible and near-infrared range showed a high degree of correspondence among all Maya Blue-carrying samples and a good agreement with synthetic indigo. Additional spectral lines may be explained by a transformation of the planar indigo molecule when binding to the palygorskite lattice. Thermal investigations of the original “amatl” paper of the codex and of recent paper from fig-trees showed a high similarity and thus proved that this tree was chosen for paper making by Mayas, Aztecs and other Indian tribes. This was also true for the codex.
