We have investigated Si-rich reconstructions of 4H-SiC( 00 1 1 ) surfaces by means of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and angleresolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (ARUPS). The reconstructions of 4H-SiC( 00 1 1 ) were prepared by annealing the sample at different temperatures in a flux of Si. Depending on the temperature different reconstructions were observed: c(2×2) at T=800°C, c(2×4) at T=840°C. Both reconstructions show strong similarities in the electronic structure.

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.

The control of hybrid interfaces in polymer-based electronic devices may be enabling in many applications. The engineering of hybrid interface involves (requires) an understanding of the electronic structure of materials—one organic and one inorganic—that form the two halves of hybrid interfaces, as well as the electronic and chemical consequences of the coupling of the two. Although much literature exists describing the interfaces between vapor-deposited organic molecules and model molecules for polymers on the surfaces of clean metals in ultrahigh vacuum, few studies have been reported on spin-coated, semiconducting polymer films on realistic substrates. Spin coating in an inert atmosphere (or even air) is a central part of the process of the fabrication of polymer-based light-emitting devices and other modern polymer-based electronic components. Here, work on the electronic structure of semiconducting (conjugated) polymer films spin-coated onto selected inorganic substrates, carried out using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, is reviewed and summarized to generate a generalized picture of the hybrid interfaces formed under realistic device fabrication conditions.

ABSTRACTWe investigated electronic structure of one-dimensional biradical molecular chain which is constructed by exploiting the covalency between organic molecules of a diphenyl derivative of s-indacenodiphenalene (Ph2-IDPL). To control the crystallinity, we used gas deposition method. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) revealed developed band structure with wide dispersion of the one-dimensional biradical molecular chain.

The electronic structure of Pd and Pt atoms adsorbed on the (100), (110), and (111) surfaces of silver and of the related dilute alloys has been studied at different temperatures using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). The observed differences in lineshape of the virtual bound palladium 4d (platinum 5d) state on isolated atoms supported on the differently oriented surfaces in comparison with an impurity atom embedded in the first layer and in the bulk are well accounted for by a many-body calculation performed within the Anderson single impurity model. This analysis clearly indicates a stronger sd-hybridization in the bulk than at the surface, consistent with the change in coordination number.
