X-ray photoelectron spectral

A complex of 1102 with L-P-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)alanine (dopa), [UO2-(dopa)] , has been reported,and a series of acylhydrazone adducts (L) [U02L2(N03)2] (L = acetyl, benzoyl, salicoyl, diacetyl, or diformylhydra-zone) and [U02L3(N03)2] (L = acetylhydrazone) have been described. The X-ray photoelectron spectral information obtained from uranyl complexes of 8-hydroxyquinoline is given in Table 3. The U 4/, 2 levels in the two...

Research aimed at identifying the ligands comprising the flattened tetrahedral blue copper center has been particularly intense in the case of plastocyanin. Direct evidence for a sulfur ligand has come from x-ray photoelectron spectral (XPS) experiments on bean plastocyanin, where a large shift of the S2p core energy of the single cysteine (Cys-85) residue in the protein upon metal incorporation (164.5, apo 169.8, native 168.8 eV, Co(II) derivative) was observed (15). The two histidines in spinach plastocyanin exhibit pK values below 5 in NMR titration experiments,... 

Additional evidence for the effect of polymerization appears in the x-ray photoelectron spectral intensities of sihcates. DVM-Aa calculations on the energies and intensities of spectra by Sasaki and Adachi (1980a,b) satisfactorily reproduce relative intensities in the upper-valence-band region for SO/ [Fig. 5.8(a)] but seriously underestimate the intensity of the 5 i orbital feature of Si02 using a SiO/ cluster model [Fig. 5.8(b)]. This error may be a result of the influence of polymerization in SiOj, although the calculated spectrum is also somewhat different from that observed for olivine in Fig. 5.7. 

X-ray photoelectron spectral data are useful for study of the surface composition of these materials. The spectra show the presence of substantial amounts of impurities on the surface of powdered YBa2Cu307. Specifically, we observe high percentages of carbon and proportionately less oxygen and metals than expected (see Table 1). 

On the other hand, we already described the study of C-13 NMR and X-ray photoelectron spectral analysis for chitosan to clarify the electronic structure in the formation of properties of biological molecule from the DFT calculations [3] and to understand the changes in adsorption behavior of chemically modified biopolymer chitosan (crosslinked biopolymer) [4],... 

We already studied the electronic state of chitosan from C-13 NMR and X-ray photoelectron spectral analysis from the DFT calculations [3]. In this study, we focus on analysis of Raman and valence X-ray photoelectron spectra for carbonized chitosan him with Kr+ ion irradiation to clarify the constitutional structure for the depth profile assignments in nm and p,m ranges, respectively. 

XPS is also often perfonned employing syncln-otron radiation as the excitation source [59]. This technique is sometimes called soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SXPS) to distinguish it from laboratory XPS. The use of syncluotron radiation has two major advantages (1) a much higher spectral resolution can be achieved and (2) the photon energy of the excitation can be adjusted which, in turn, allows for a particular electron kinetic energy to be selected. 

Miscellaneous. NIST has a reference database of criticaUy evaluated x-ray photoelectron and Auger spectral data, which is designed to mn on PCs. It is searchable by spectral lines as weU as by element, line energy, and chemical data (82). The Nuclear Quadrapole Resonance Spectra Database at Osaka University of over 10,000 records is avaUable in an MS-DOS version (83). The NCLl system, SDBS, has esr and Raman spectra, along with nmr, ir, and ms data, as described. 

The electronic spin-state crossover in [Fe(HB(pz)3)2] has also been observed in the fine structure of its fC-edge x-ray absorption spectrum [38]. The changes in the x-ray absorption spectra of [Fe(HB(pz)3)2] are especially apparent between 293 and 450 K at ca. 25 eV, as is shown in Fig. 5. The 293 K x-ray absorption spectral profile observed in Fig. 5 for [Fe(HB(pz)3)2] has been reproduced [39] by a multiple photoelectron scattering calculation, a calculation that indicated that up to 33 atoms at distances of up to 4.19 A are involved in the scattering. As expected, the extended x-ray absorption fine structure reveals [38] no change in the average low-spin iron(II)-nitro-gen bond distance of 1.97 A in [Fe(HB(pz)3)2] upon cooling from 295 to 77 K. 

The following aspects of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are important in terms of determining bonding both in chemical species on minerals and in the minerals themselves. Data obtained from these spectral parameters are both structural and electronic, and, when considered with crystallographic structural data where possible, give a comprehensive bonding picture. Of course, for general survey treatises of this technique, prior works (19-21) should be consulted. 

Subsequently, Grunthaner reexamined the ESCA spectrum of the 2-norbornyl cation on a higher-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectrometer using highly efficient vacuum techniques.884 The spectrum closely matches the previously published spectra. Furthermore, the reported ESCA spectral results are consistent with the theoretical studies of Allen and co-workers885 on the classical and nonclassical norbomyl cation at the STO-3G and STO-4.31G levels. Using the parameters obtained by Allen and co-workers, Clark and co-workers were able to carry out a detailed...

In this section we shall particularly study the dynamic properties of a core hole in terms of its self-energy and spectral function15 19,23,27 32). This is a kind of model problem because one does not discuss by which physical mechanism the core hole is created. The hole is simply created in the system at a specific instant of time and destroyed at a later time. By studying the development of the core hole during this interval one gets a picture of how the core level strength becomes distributed over the various possible levels of the ionic system. Nevertheless, since the creation of the core hole is sudden, the resulting spectral function is very closely connected to the X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) as already briefly discussed in Sect. 2.2, Eq. (6). 

So far, we have fairly extensively discussed the general aspects of static and dynamic relaxation of core holes. We have also discussed in detail methods for calculating the selfenergy (E). Knowing the self-energy, we know the spectral density of states function A (E) (Eq. (10)) which describes the X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) in the sudden limit of very high photoelectron kinetic energy (Eq. (6)). We will now present numerical results for i(E) and Aj(E) and compare these with experimental XPS spectra and we will find many situations where atomic core holes behave in very unconventional ways.
