X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a popular analytical technique in materials
science as it can assess the surface chemistry of a broad range of samples. This Primer …

The complex surface chemistry that dictates the interaction between MXene and polysulfides-
the formation of thiosulfate via consumption of-OH surface groups, followed by Lewis acid …

Ar+ sputter etching is often used prior to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses
with the intention to remove surface oxides and contaminants. Since the XPS probing depth …

Advanced technology for solar energy collection is increasingly demanded in many
applications. In this study we report a reactive magnetron sputtering technique to prepare a …

Resistive random access memory (RRAM) technologies based on non-volatile resistive
filament redox switching oxides have the potential of drastically improving the performance …

Titanium nitride (TiN) is attracting attention as a promising material for low temperature
proton exchange membrane fuel cells. With its high electrical conductivity and resistance to …

To modify oxide structure and introduce a thin conductive film on Li4Ti5O12, thermal
nitridation was adopted for the first time. NH3 decomposes surface Li4Ti5O12 to conductive …

We present first self-consistent modelling of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) Ti 2p, N
1s, O 1s, and C 1s core level spectra with a cross-peak quantitative agreement for a series of …

The potential in a synaptic simulation for neuromorphic computation has revived the
research interest of resistive random access memory (RRAM). However, novel applications …

Although TiN has hitherto been the most extensively investigated hard coating, other binary
and ternary nitrides are the subject of ever-increasing interest. In this work the behaviour of …
