TY - JOUR A1 - Dietrich, Paul A1 - Nietzold, Carolin A1 - Weise, Matthias A1 - Unger, Wolfgang A1 - Alnabulsi, Saad A1 - Moulder, John T1 - XPS depth profiling of an ultrathin bioorganic film with an argon gas cluster ion beam JF - Biointerphases N2 - The growing interest in artificial bioorganic Interfaces as a platform for applications in emerging Areas as personalized medicine, clinical diagnostics, biosensing, biofilms, prevention of biofouling, and other fields of bioengineering is the origin of a need for in Detail multitechnique characterizations of such layers and interfaces. The in-depth analysis of biointerfaces is of special interest as the properties of functional bioorganic coatings can be dramatically affected by in-depth variations of composition. In worst cases, the functionality of a device produced using such coatings can be substantially reduced or even fully lost.
