Soft-X-ray photoemission spectroscopy was used to characterize the Gd/GaAs(100)-interface formation at room temperature. At low Gd coverage (<1 Å), the interface is near-abrupt, because no evidence of reaction is observed. With increasing Gd coverage, photoemission signals from chemically reacted product at the interface are observed, causing some intermixing between the overlayer and the substrate. For As atoms, they remain near the interface and have little diffusion. Ga atoms, however, are not kept near the interface, and they can diffuse into the Gd overlayer and segregate onto the surface instead. From the observed variations with metal coverage of binding energies and relative intensities of photoemission signals from the reacted layer, a profile of the interface structure is proposed, and some parameters (decaying length, segregation density and solution density, etc.) have been obtained. The results show that the deposition of Gd onto the GaAs (100) surface induces limited substrate disruption except for some diffusion and segregation of Ga atoms into the metal overlayer. This paper demonstrates that the disruption and epitaxial growth are not mutually exclusive in the Gd / GaAs (100) system.

The oxygen adsorption and desorption on the CdZnTe (111) B -(2×2) surface were studied with synchrotron radiation ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (SRUPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that a surface state of clean CdZnTe (111) B -(2×2) surface appears at 0.5 eV below Fermi level ( E F), which disappears after the oxygen exposure, and shows again after annealing in UHV. The surface work function of CdZnTe (111) B -(2×2) decreases after the oxygen exposure, and futher reduces after annealing.

AbstractWe bombarded $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{3}\text{Pd}(111)$}$$ Cu 3 Pd ( 111 ) and $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{3}\text{Pt}(111)$}$$ Cu 3 Pt ( 111 ) with a 2.3 eV hyperthermal oxygen molecular beam (HOMB) source, and characterized the corresponding (oxide) surfaces with synchrotron-radiation X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (SR-XPS). At $$300\,\text{K}$$ 300 K , CuO forms on both $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{3}\text{Pd}(111)$}$$ Cu 3 Pd ( 111 ) and $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{3}\text{Pt}(111)$}$$ Cu 3 Pt ( 111 ) . When we increase the surface temperature to $$500\,\text{K}$$ 500 K , $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{2}\text{O}$}$$ Cu 2 O also forms on $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{3}\text{Pd}(111)$}$$ Cu 3 Pd ( 111 ) , but not on $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{3}\text{Pt}(111)$}$$ Cu 3 Pt ( 111 ) . For comparison, $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{2}\text{O}$}$$ Cu 2 O forms even at $$300\,\text{K}$$ 300 K on Cu(111). On $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{3}\text{Au}(111)$}$$ Cu 3 Au ( 111 ) , $$\mbox{$\text{Cu}_{2}\text{O}$}$$ Cu 2 O forms only after $$500\,\text{K}$$ 500 K , and no oxides can be found at $$300\,\text{K}$$ 300 K . We ascribe this difference in Cu oxide formation to the mobility of the interfacial species (Cu/Pd/Pt) and charge transfer between the surface Cu oxides and subsurface species (Cu/Pd/Pt).

AbstractThe chemical nature of the interface formed when an electropositive metal (chromium) is evaporated on the surface of oxygen-containing polymers has been investigated by synchrotron-radiation excited photoemission spectroscopy and by near-edge X-ray absorption fine stnrcture spectroscopy (NEXAFS). PMDA-ODA polyimide was studied along with two polymers intended to more simply model the complex chemical functionality of polyimide. Core-level spectra were resolved into distinct peaks, which were assigned to specific atoms in the polymer units, and changes in the spectra were monitored as chromium metal atoms were evaporated onto the surface. Similarly, NEXAFS spectra were taken as a function of chromium deposition. Results of these experiments show that chromium initially reacts very rapidly with surface carbonyl groups, but less strongly with ether oxygens or arene rings. In all polymers studied, formation of an electron-rich, carbide-like species was observed.
