Motivated by the application of ZnO in gas sensors and catalysis and by the more general desire to understand surface properties of ionically bonded solids, electronic properties of ZnO surfaces have been investigated for many years [20,76-80]. An overview of the early work on ZnO surface properties is included in the book of Henrich and Cox [81]. 

Knotek and Feibelman [94] examined the modification to a surface when exposed to ionising radiation and assesed the damage that can be produced. They addressed the stability of ionically bonded surfaces, where the KF mechanism applies, and concluded that Auger induced decomposition only occurs when the cation in the solid is ionised to relatively deep core levels. In the case of non-maximal oxides as with NiO, Freund s group [95] showed that whilst desorption of neutral NO and CO from NiO(lOO) and (111) surfaces has thresholds at the C Is, N Is and O Is core levels, it proceeds mainly on the basis of the MGR model, involving an excited state of the adsorbate. An overview of electronic desorption presented by Feibelman in 1983 [96] examined particularly the stability of the multiple-hole final state configuration leading to desorption. The presence of multiple holes, and associated hole-hole correlation... 

Lewis Theory An Overview—Lewis symbol represents the valence electrons of an atom by using dots placed around the chemical symbol. A Lewis structure is a combination of Lewis symbols used to represent chemical bonding. Normally, all the electrons in a Lewis structure are paired, and each atom in the structure acquires an octet—that is, there are eight electrons in the valence shell. In Lewis theory, chemical bonds are classified as ionic bonds, which are formed by electron transfer between atoms, or covalent bonds, which are formed by electrons shared between atoms. Most bonds, however, have partial ionic and partial covalent characteristics. 

As an example of an anionic surfactant mixture frequently contained in detergent formulations, an AES blend with the general formula C H2 i i—O—(CH2—CH2—O) —SO3 was examined in the negative FLAMS mode. Because of the considerable differences observed between both API ionisation mode overview spectra, the ESI—FIA—MS(—) and the APCI—FIA—MS(—) spectra are reproduced in Fig. 2.5.3(a) and (b), respectively. Ionisation of this blend in the positive APCI—FIA—MS mode, not presented here, leads to the destruction of the AES molecules by scission of the O—SO3 bond. Instead of the ions of the anionic surfactant mixture of AES, ions of AE can then be observed imaging the presence of non-ionic surfactants of AE type. 

Within approximately the past decade it has been realized, and abundantly demonstrated, that the transition metals have a marked propensity to form homo- and hetero-nuclear bonds among themselves. There is now a large number of molecules and ionic species containing such bonds, and detailed discussions will be found in succeeding Chapters. At this point, however, we present an introductory overview with cross references to the later, detailed presentations.
