High-Temperature Cs <sub/>x</sub> C <sub/>58</sub> Fullerides
摘要: Cs doped non-IPR fullerides have been grown by co-depositing C58 cations and Cs atoms on HOPG. The C58 cages, as building blocks of the material, form a predominantly covalently stabilized scaffold, C58–C58, which is doped by Cs atoms thermally diffusing across the bulk. The heating of the solid CsxC58 sample is accompanied by sublimation of Cs, C58, and C60 species from the topmost layers of the sample. However, the major part (>94%) of the material survives the heating procedure and constitutes a doped high-temperature carbon solid, HT-CsxC58. The new non-IPR material exhibits surprisingly high thermal stability. It survives a heating flash up to 1100 K at which the classic IPR-CsxC60 phase does not exist anymore. However, the thermally treated HT-CsxC58 phase exhibits a considerably depleted Cs content (x < 2) and a significantly modified carbon scaffold. The apparent stability of the scaffold results from covalent C–C bonds interlinking adjacent carbon cages. Cs atoms in the HT-CsxC58 phase contribute to this stability only as minority species, forming comparably weak ionic bonds with C58–C58 oligomers. However, this interaction facilitates the formation of structural defects (new non-IPR sites) in carbon cages. The surface topography of the HT-CsxC58 as monitored by SPEM, AFM, and SEM is governed by islands standing out by their elevated Cs/C ratio.

Landscape of s-triazine molecule on Si(100) by a theoretical x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra study
摘要: The chemisorbed structure for an aromatic molecule on a silicon surface plays an important part in promoting the development of organic semiconductor material science. The carbon K-shell x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra of the interfacial structure of an s-triazine molecule adsorbed on Si(100) surface have been performed by the ?rst principles, and the landscape of the s-triazine molecule on Si(100) surface has been described in detail. Both the XPS and XANES spectra have shown their dependence on different structures for the pristine s-triazine molecule and its several possible adsorbed con?gurations. By comparison with the XPS spectra, the XANES spectra display the strongest structural dependency of all of the studied systems and thus could be well applied to identify the chemisorbed s-triazine derivatives. The exploration of spectral components originated from non-equivalent carbons in disparate local environments has also been implemented for both the XPS and XANES spectra of s-triazine adsorbed con?gurations.

Engineering the Palladium–WSe <sub/>2</sub> Interface Chemistry for Field Effect Transistors with High Performance Hole Contacts
摘要: Palladium has been widely employed as a hole contact to WSe2 and has enabled, at times, the highest WSe2 transistor performance. However, there are orders of magnitude variation across the literature in Pd–WSe2 contact resistance and ION/IOFF ratios with no true understanding of how to consistently achieve high–performance contacts. In this work, WSe2 transistors with impressive ION/IOFF ratios of 106 and Pd–WSe2 Schottky diodes with near–zero variability are demonstrated utilizing Ohmic–like Pd contacts through deliberate control of the interface chemistry. The increased concentration of a PdSex intermetallic is correlated with an Ohmic band alignment and concomitant defect passivation, which further reduces the contact resistance, variability, and barrier height inhomogeneity. The lowest contact resistance occurs when a 60 minute post metallization anneal at 400 °C in forming gas (FG) is performed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates this FG anneal produces 3× the concentration of PdSex and an Ohmic band alignment, in contrast to that detected after annealing in ultra–high vacuum, during which a 0.2 eV hole Schottky barrier forms. Raman spectroscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy highlight the necessity of the fabrication step to achieve high–performance contacts as no PdSex forms and WSe2 is unperturbed by room temperature Pd deposition. However, at least one WSe2 layer is consumed by the necessary interface reactions that form PdSex requiring strategic exploitation of a sacrificial WSe2 layer during device fabrication. The interface chemistry and structural properties are correlated with Pd–WSe2 diode and transistor performance and the recommended processing steps are provided to enable reliable high–performance contact formation.

Band alignment of BiOCl/ZnO core shell nanosheets by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements
摘要: To improve optoelectronic properties of bismuth oxyhalides, hybrid BiOX photocatalytic materials have draw a great attention, because of the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The band offset and band alignments are considered as the key parameters to elaborate carrier transport properties in heterojunction. In this paper, to determine the band alignment of BiOCl and ZnO heterostructure, BiOCl/ZnO core shell nanosheets with different thickness of shell layer were synthesized. The valence band offset (VBO or DEV) of BiOCl/ZnO heterostructure was determined using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy measurements. The DEV value of 0.294 § 0.10 eV was calculated by using the Zn 2p3/2, Bi 4f5/2 binding energies as references. Taking the band gaps of 3.37 eV and 3.4 eV for ZnO and BiOCl samples into consideration, respectively, we obtained the type-II band alignment of BiOCl/ZnO heterostructure with a conduction band offset (CBO or DEc) of 0.324 § 0.10 eV.

摘要: SiO2 thin layers in thicknesses (1, 5, 10, 18 nm) on TiO2 thin layer in thickness 79 nm deposited by reactive RF sputtering technique. The deposited films were heat treated at temperatures (200, 400, 500, 600°C). The surface properties of thin films by atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface chemical composition by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and self-cleaning effect in bi layers, were studied. In addition, enhanced hydrophilicity property in the films under the effect of annealed temperature and persistence without UV light illumination were evaluated.

Nanolayer Research || Nanolayer Analysis by Photoelectron Spectroscopy
摘要: Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES), or photoemission spectroscopy, is one of the most important and useful techniques for investigating electronic and chemical states in solids, especially in nanolayers because of its high-energy resolution and surface sensitivity [1–5]. The physics behind PES is an application of the photoelectric effect. Through photoelectric ionization by irradiating samples with X-rays, vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) or ultraviolet (UV) light, the energies of the emitted photoelectrons are characteristic of their original electronic and chemical states. Therefore PES is one of the most sensitive and accurate techniques for measuring the energies and shapes of electronic states and molecular orbitals. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was developed by Kai Siegbahn in 1957 and is used to study the energy levels of atomic core electrons, mainly in solids. Siegbahn referred to the technique as electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), since chemical structure can be determined by analyzing the core levels with small chemical shifts depending on the chemical environment of the atom. Siegbahn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1981.

A glassy carbon electrode modified with TiO2(200)-rGO hybrid nanosheets for aptamer based impedimetric determination of the prostate specific antigen
摘要: TiO2(200)-rGO hybrid nanosheets were synthesized starting from TiO2, rGO and NaOH solid powders via a scalable hydrothermal process. The weight ratio of TiO2-GO was found to be crucial on the crystal growth and biosensor properties of the final hybrid nanosheets. They were characterized by means of SEM, FESEM-EDX, XRD, XPS, Raman and FTIR spectroscopies in order to verify the formation of very thin TiO2 anatase nanosheets with an orientation of the anatase crystal structure towards the (200) plane. The free active sites of TiO2 structure and the large surface of the 2D graphene structure strongly facilitate charge transport confirmed by BET-BJH analyses. Compared to pure AuNPs, rGO and TiO2, the hybrid nanosheet modified electrode represents the most sensitive aptasensing platform for the determination of PSA. The detection was based on that the variation of electron transfer resistance (Rct) at the modified electrode surface in a solution containing 3.0 mmol L?1 [Fe(CN)6]3?/4- as a redox probe and 0.1 mol L?1 KCl as supporting electrolyte. The detection limit of the sensor is 1 pg mL?1, and the sensor can be operated up to 30 days. It was applied to the analysis of PSA levels in spiked serum samples obtained from patients with prostate cancer. Data compare well with those obtained by an immunoradiometric assay.

Deposition of Amorphous Carbon Thin Films by RF Magnetron Sputtering using Woodceramics as Target
摘要: Woodceramics, a substance based on woody materials carbonized at elevated temperatures after impregnating with phenolic resin, have been developed as a new kind of porous carbonaceous material. To expand the industrial application, we attempted to produce amorphous carbon films were RF magnetron sputtering using woodceramics as its target. As a result, typical amorphous carbon films were successfully produced using woodceramics, and the films were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The films produced were composed of carbon turbostratic structure or amorphous whose electron configurations consisted of sp2 and sp3. The ratio of sp3 bonding in the films were about 53% just after the sputtering, but the number increased to about 82% after etching the material using argon ions. Fundamental mechanical properties such as hardness and friction coefficient were also measured and taken into account.

Distinguishing Zigzag and Armchair Edges on Graphene Nanoribbons by X-ray Photoelectron and Raman Spectroscopies
摘要: Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have recently emerged as alternative 2D semiconductors owing to their fascinating electronic properties that include tunable band gaps and high charge-carrier mobilities. Identifying the atomic-scale edge structures of GNRs through structural investigations is very important to fully understand the electronic properties of these materials. Herein, we report an atomic-scale analysis of GNRs using simulated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy. Tetracene with zigzag edges and chrysene with armchair edges were selected as initial model structures, and their XPS and Raman spectra were analyzed. Structurally expanded nanoribbons based on tetracene and chrysene, in which zigzag and armchair edges were combined in various ratios, were then simulated. The edge structures of chain-shaped nanoribbons composed only of either zigzag edges or armchair edges were distinguishable by XPS and Raman spectroscopy, depending on the edge type. It was also possible to distinguish planar nanoribbons consisting of both zigzag and armchair edges with zigzag/armchair ratios of 4:1 or 1:4, indicating that it is possible to analyze normally synthesized GNRs because their zigzag to armchair edge ratios are usually greater than 4 or less than 0.25. Our study on the precise identification of GNR edge structures by XPS and Raman spectroscopy provides the groundwork for the analysis of GNRs.

Thermal atomic layer deposition of Sn metal using SnCl <sub/>4</sub> and a vapor phase silyl dihydropyrazine reducing agent
摘要: This work explores a novel, thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) process to deposit tin metal at a low temperature. The authors employ 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dihydropyrazine (DHP) to reduce SnCl4 on silicon substrates. The authors explored a range of temperatures between 130 and 210 °C to determine the ALD window, which was found to be 170–210 °C. The authors show that this process yields a growth rate of ~0.3 ? per cycle at 190 °C. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that the ?lm impurities are reduced for depositions within the ALD window. The reaction mechanism was explored using in situ mass spectrometry and in situ quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Within the ALD temperature window, the QCM results showed a saturated mass gain during the SnCl4 exposure and a net mass loss during the DHP dose. Consistent with the QCM results, in situ mass spectroscopy data indicate that the DHP exposure step removes surface Cl via formation of volatile trimethylsilyl chloride and pyrazine by-products, effectively reducing the oxidation state of surface-bound Sn. This work is the ?rst thermal Sn metal ALD process to be reported in literature and the oxidation/reduction chemistry presented here may be applied to other metal precursors, increasing the applicability of metal ALD use in industry.
