An important property of the surface behaviour of oxides which contain transition metal ions having a number of possible valencies can be revealed by X-ray induced photoelectron spectroscopy. The energy spectrum of tlrese electrons give a direct measure of the binding energies of the valence electrons on the metal ions, from which the charge state can be deduced (Gunarsekaran et al., 1994).

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a surface analysis technique that measures the chemical composition of a surface by determining the energy levels of photoelectrons in a spectrum with a series of photoelectron peaks, binding energies of which are... 

Note that in core-level photoelectron spectroscopy, it is often found that the surface atoms have a different binding energy than the bulk atoms. These are called surface core-level shifts (SCLS), and should not be confiised with intrinsic surface states. Au SCLS is observed because the atom is in a chemically different enviromuent than the bulk atoms, but the core-level state that is being monitored is one that is present in all of the atoms in the material. A surface state, on the other hand, exists only at the particular surface. 

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), also called electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), is described in section Bl.25,2.1. The most connnonly employed x-rays are the Mg Ka (1253.6 eV) and the A1 Ka (1486.6 eV) lines, which are produced from a standard x-ray tube. Peaks are seen in XPS spectra that correspond to the bound core-level electrons in the material. The intensity of each peak is proportional to the abundance of the emitting atoms in the near-surface region, while the precise binding energy of each peak depends on the chemical oxidation state and local enviromnent of the emitting atoms. The Perkin-Elmer XPS handbook contains sample spectra of each element and bindmg energies for certain compounds [58]. 

The transition-state spectroscopy experiment based on negative-ion photodetachment described above is well suited to the study of the F + FI2 reaction. The experiment is carried out tln-ough measurement of the photoelectron spectrum of the anion FH,. This species is calculated to be stable with a binding energy of...

McFeely and co-workers used soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SXPS) to measure the changes in binding energies of Si(2p) levels after slight exposure to fluorine atoms via dissociative chemisoriDtion of XeF2 [39]. Using synclirotron radiation at 130 eV as the source enabled extreme surface sensitivity. Since this level is split into a...

The films were characterized using x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photoelectron spectroscopy utilized a Vacuum Generators ESCA Lab II system with Mg(Ka) radiation. Binding energies (BE) were measured with respect to the surface C(ls) peak (284.5 eV) which was always present In these films. Scanning electron microscopy was done with a JEOL JSM-35C system. 

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy analysis of the samples was performed with a Surface Science Instruments spectrometer (SSI 100) with a resolution (FWHM Au 4f7/2) of 1.0 eV. The X-ray beam was a monochromatised AlKa radiation (1486.6 eV). A charge neutraliser (flood gun) was adjusted at an energy of 6 eV. As the Cls spectra of these compounds were very complex, the binding energies were referenced to the binding energy of Ols, considered experimentally to be at 531.8 eV [8). 

Cationic alkyl metallocene complexes are now considered the catalytically active species in metallocene/MAO systems. Spectroscopic observation has confirmed the presence of cationic catalytic centers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on the binding energy of Zr(3d5/2) has suggested the presence of cationic species, and cationic hydride species such as ZrHCp2 that are generated by /1-hydride elimination of the propagating chain end...
