A technique is described for deposition of gold nanoparticles under vacuum, enabling
consistent energy referencing of X-ray photoelectron spectra obtained from lanthanum …

The oxides, hydroxides, and oxyhydroxides of aluminum cannot be distinguished by their
core X-ray photoelectron (XPS) regions, but have significantly different valence band …

X-ray photoemission spectra of valence and core electrons in sodium and sodium hydroxide
were measured from clean and oxidized sodium-metal films. Clean metal surfaces were …

This chapter presents a brief description of the physics of X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(XAS) and of the data analysis. It describes a selective review of some applications of XAS to …

The performance of coated and bonded aluminium relies heavily upon its surface chemistry
and hence characterization of the aluminium surface is important. A method to quantify the …

X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has often played the major role in the chemical
characterization of select surface species, but the extension of that role to larger classes of …

XPS spectra of Fe 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 oxides are reported. The main emphasis is placed on
the quantitative analysis of Ar+ ion reductive effects on Fe 2 O 3 surfaces in terms of no/n Fe …

Quantitative chemical state X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of mixed nickel
metal, oxide, hydroxide and oxyhydroxide systems is challenging due to the complexity of …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of palladium oxide (PdO) are presented.
Clean, ground PdO powder was pressed into In foil and analyzed with a Surface Science …

Rare earth oxides have seen increased usage over the years in batteries and catalysts. Due
