Hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of tunable oxide interfaces

Reactive ZnO/Ti/ZnO interfaces studied by hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Highly sensitive nitric oxide detection using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Nitric oxide (NO) is important physiologically as a gaseous messenger in the central nervous system;1 its level is also associated with several disease states.2 The concentration of NO in these cases is in the nanomolar range; therefore accurate and direct detection of NO at these levels is important. NO is also a decomposition product of several explosives3 so detection of trace amounts of exp...

X - Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Silicate Glasses

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful technique capable of providing unique information about the structural chemistry of glasses. However, inappropriate procedures for the preparation of sample surfaces or the lack of reliable methods to overcome electrostatic charging effects during analysis of dielectric materials can cause spurious features to be introduced or intrinsic featu...

Compositional depth profile analysis of coatings on hard disks by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and imaging

A hard disk medium is typically composed of several layers including the magnetic recording layer, a buffer layer, as well as a wear protective layer. In the work presented here, the hard disks analysed have a total of five layers with the uppermost layer being the lubricant. The second layer is diamond like coating and this is followed by the magnetic layer consisting of an alloy of cobalt and...
