Vacuum space charge effects in sub-picosecond soft X-ray photoemission on a molecular adsorbate layer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vacuum space charge induced kinetic energy shifts of O 1s and Ru 3d core levels in femtosecond soft X-ray photoemission spectra (PES) have been studied at a free electron laser (FEL) for an oxygen layer on Ru(0001). We fully reproduced the measurements by simulating the in-vacuum expansion of the photoelectrons and demonstrate the space charge contribution of the high-order harmonics in the FEL beam. Employing the same analysis for 400 nm pump-X-ray probe PES, we can disentangle the delay dependent Ru 3d energy shifts into effects induced by space charge and by lattice heating from the femtosecond pump pulse.

Time-resolved HAXPES using a microfocused XFEL beam: From vacuum space-charge effects to intrinsic charge-carrier recombination dynamics
Time-resolved hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (trHAXPES) using microfocused X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL, hν = 8 keV) pulses as a probe and infrared laser pulses (hν = 1.55 eV) as a pump is employed to determine intrinsic charge-carrier recombination dynamics in La:SrTiO3. By means of a combination of experiments and numerical N-body simulations, we first develop a simple approach to c...

We review recent work in the study of interfacial electronic states and electron–adsorbate interactions with timeand angle-resolved two-photon photoemission (2PPE) spectroscopy. Results for interfaces between noble-metal surfaces and organic as well as inorganic dielectric overlayers are presented. Layer structure and thickness have pronounced effects on the spatial extents, binding energies, a...

The properties of Si(111) surfaces grafted with benzene derivatives were investigated using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The investigated materials were nitro-, bromo-, and methoxybenzene layers (-C(6)H(4)-X, with X = NO(2), Br, O-CH(3)) deposited from diazonium salt solutions in a potentiostatic electrochemical process. The UPS spectr...
متن کاملSynchrotron x-ray photoemission study of soft x-ray processed ultrathin glycine-water ice films.
Ultrathin glycine-water ice films have been prepared in ultrahigh vacuum by condensation of H(2)O and glycine at 90 K on single crystalline alumina surfaces and processed by soft x-ray (610 eV) exposure for up to 60 min. The physicochemical changes in the films were monitored using synchrotron x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Two films with different amounts of H(2)O have been considered in or...

Soft x-ray photoemission spectroscopy has been applied to determine the binding energy shifts and the valance band offset of HfO2 grown on Hf metal. Charging of oxide films upon x-ray exposure is found to be very severe and special care is taken to eliminate it. Photoemission results show the presence of metallic Hf ~from the substrate! with a 4 f 7/2 binding energy of 14.22 eV, fully oxidized ...
