AbstractX-ray photoelectron spectroscopy can be used to measure the ionization energies of electrons in both valence band and core orbitals. As core vacancies are the initial states for X-ray emission, a knowledge of their energies for all atoms in a mineral enables all the X-ray spectra to be placed on a common energy scale. X-ray spectra are atom specific and are governed by the dipole selection rule. Thus the individual bonding roles of the different atoms are revealed by the fine structure of valence X-ray peaks (i.e. peaks which result from electron transitions between valence band orbitals and core vacancies). The juxtaposition of such spectra enables the composition of the molecular orbitals that make up the chemical bonds of a mineral to be determined.Examples of this approach to the direct determination of electronic structure are given for silica, forsterite, brucite, and pyrite. Multi-electron effects and developments involving anisotropic X-ray emission from single crystals are also discussed.

ABSTRACTHydrogenated amorphous silicon-carbon alloys, a-Si:C:H, have been deposited as thin films (d=0.1-0.5 micron) on crystalline silicon substrates from a capacitively coupled rf discharge in silane-propane mixtures. Variations in the stoichiometry of the films were achieved by altering the ratio of SiH4 to C3H8 flow rates at a sbstrate temperature in the range 240-260°C and total pressure between 30-70 mtorr. The silicon to carbon ratios were established by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS, and the hydrogen content and distribution by infra-red spectroscopy.
