AbstractHigh resolution photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) studies were conducted on a δ-phase Plutonium sample cleaned by laser ablation and gas dosed with O2 and H2. The measurements were made with an instrument resolution of 60 meV and with the sample at 77 K. The PES data strongly support a model with Pu2O3 growth on the metal and then PuO2 growth on the Pu2O3 layer at this temperature. In vacuum, the PuO2 reduces to Pu2O3 at room temperature with a pressure of 6×10−11 Torr. In the case of H2 dosing the hydrogen appears to penetrate the surface and disrupt the valence band as evidenced by a drop in intensity of the peak at EF which is not accompanied by a drop in the main 5f manifold at ∼2eV.

The Individual

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.

Helium 584 Å radiation produces photoeleetron spectra from water and deuterium oxide, which show extensive vibrational fine structure. The results are discussed in terms of the electronic structure of the molecule, and the bonding characteristics of the various molecular orbitals. Water is inferred to have only three configurationally distinct ionization potentials smaller than 21.22 eV.
