The Au 4f7/2 orbital is used for static charge referencing. This feature originates from well-defined and chemically inert 20 nm highly dispersed gold particles deposited on the sample surface. The particles, with a narrow particle size distribution, were obtained from a highly purified colloidal solution (sodium concentration below 1 mg/l). This procedure allows a determination of gold-referenced XPS and XAES data sets. ©2001 American Vacuum Society.

A1 - Unger, Wolfgang T1 - XPS and NEXAFS studies of aliphatic and aromatic amine species on functionalized surfaces JF - Surface science N2 - The chemical constitution of functionalized supports is an important parameter that determines their performance in a broad range of applications, e.g. for immobilization of biomolecules. Supports with amino functionalized surfaces are also often used for DNA microarray experiments. However, spectral data which have been reported for surfaces with amino functionalities suffer from some inconsistencies. In this article a detailed XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and NEXAFS (Near edge X-ray absorption fine structure) database for amino functionalized surfaces is presented. Amino-terminated surfaces prepared from aliphatic and aromatic aminosilanes or aminothiols and a field sample are considered. Effects of aging in air and damage by radiation are addressed as well.

T1 - VAMAS TWA2 Project A2: evaluation of static charge stabilization and determination methods in XPS on non-conducting samples. Report on an inter-laboratory comparison JF - Surface and interface analysis N2 - First results of an inter-laboratory comparison (27 participants in Europe, Japan and USA) of XPS data obtained with non-conducting samples are presented. Binding energies of Al 2s for alumina, N 1s and imide C 1s for Kapton and Sr 3p3/2 for a strontium titanate film on glass were obtained after static charge referencing with the help of 15 nm gold particles deposited at the surface of the test samples. For the alumina sample C 1s static charge referenced data are also presented. Repeat standard deviations (sr), between standard deviations (sb), reproducibility standard deviations (sR) and total means are evaluated from the experimental data. It can be stated that although the repeat standard deviation is as small as 0.05 eV in the best case, the standard deviation characterizing the reproducibility of the method is obviously not better than 0.15 eV in the best case at the present time. The knowledge of these standard deviations is important for metrology, validations of analytical procedures relying on qualitative photoelectron spectroscopy and XPS databanking.

T1 - Uncertainty in measurement of overlayer thickness of thermally oxidized silicon using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy JF - Surface and interface analysis N2 - Overlayers of SiO2 (nominally 4, 6 and 8 nm thick) on silicon, prepared by thermal oxidation, were investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The thickness of these overlayers was obtained from a measurement of the photoelectron intensities originating from the substrate and the oxide overlayer by applying an appropriate quantitative model. The uncertainty budget of that thickness measurement method is given. The relative combined standard uncertainty of the method was found to be 15%. The effective attenuation lengths or the corresponding electron inelastic mean free paths are of considerable importance for both the estimated values of overlayer thickness and combined standard uncertainties. The XPS results were compared with ellipsometry data.

T1 - Tuning the surface properties of novel ternary iron(III) fluoride-based catalysts using the template effect of the matrix JF - Dalton transactions N2 - Sol–gel prepared ternary FeF3–MgF2 materials have become promising heterogeneous catalysts due to their porosity and surface Lewis/Brønsted acidity (bi-acidity). Despite the good catalytic performance, nanoscopic characterisations of this type of material are still missing and the key factors controlling the surface properties have not yet been identified, impeding both a better understanding and further development of ternary fluoride catalysts. In this study, we characterised the interaction between the bi-acidic component (FeF3) and the matrix (MgF2) on the nano-scale. For the first time, the formation pathway of FeF3–MgF2 was profiled and the template effect of MgF2 during the synthesis process was discovered. Based on these new insights two novel materials, FeF3–CaF2 and FeF3–SrF2, were established, revealing that with decreasing the atomic numbers (from Sr to Mg), the ternary fluorides exhibited increasing surface acidity and surface area but decreasing pore size. These systematic changes gave rise to a panel of catalysts with tuneable surface and bulk properties either by changing the matrix alkaline earth metal fluoride or by adjusting their ratios to Fe or both. The template effect of the alkaline earth metal fluoride matrix was identified as the most probable key factor determining the surface properties and further influencing the catalytic performance in ternary fluoride based catalysts, and paves the way to targeted design of next-generation catalysts with tunable properties.

T1 - The versatility of 'Click' reactions at surfaces: Molecular recognition at interfaces JF - RSC Advances N2 - In order to investigate molecular recognition on surfaces, an azide-functionalized monolayer was deposited on gold. The monolayer was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and angle-resolved near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) experiments and the decomposition of the azide upon irradiation with X-ray beams was investigated. Subsequently, various alkyne-functionalized host and guest molecules were attached to the azide by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. These modified surfaces and their host–guest chemistry were analysed by XPS and angle-resolved NEXAFS. The reversibility of guest binding was shown for one example as a proof of principle.

T1 - The Use of Octadecyltrichlorosilane Self-Assembled Layers as a Model for the Assessment of Plasma Treatment and Metallization Effects on Polyolefins JF - Langmuir N2 - Self-assembled octadecyltrichlorosilane (CH3(CH2)17SiCl3, OTS) films were deposited on an oxidized silicon wafer. They were carefully exposed to a low-pressure oxygen direct current (dc) plasma and/or Cr vapor. Subsequently, they were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Detailed information on the oxygen functionalization and the molecular conformation of the OTS films was obtained. The main result was that functionalization conditions can be found where the order of the film remains almost unaffected. Similarly, Cr evaporation of pure OTS films revealed only slight effects on the order in the film. Cr evaporation of an ordered but functionalized OTS film immediately changes its state toward a fully isotropic one. In the course of interaction, oxygen sites at the surface of the functionalized OTS film are reduced whereas Cr becomes oxidized. A redox reaction scheme is proposed for this interfacial reaction. Finally, it is concluded that the given study should be of importance for advanced plasma processing of polyolefins.
