- Resonant X-ray scattering measurements were performed on CeB6, CeAl, γ-Ce, and α-Ce at various incident-photon energies near the Ce 4d threshold. A pronounced inelastic scattering structure which has 4f character is observed at about 4 eV below the elastic peak. The structure shows a distinct resonant behavior as well as a dependence on the degree of 4f hybridization and can therefore be attributed to charge-transfer excitations to the 4f0 state. The intensity of the elastic peak increases when going from the systems with low Kondo temperature TK to those with high TK which is consistent with a Kondo scale behavior. By analyzing the scattering data, a controversial issue on the validity of a single-impurity Anderson model in heavy-fermion materials is addressed.

- Water and coadsorbed water + potassium on the basal plane of graphite were studied with high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) at 85 K and after stepwise annealing up to 500 K. Water adsorbs non-dissociatively on both clean and potassium precovered surface at 85 K. The vibration spectra, together with thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) reveal a series of reactions within the coadsorbed layer leading to the formation of KOH, KH, and KOx and volatile products. Eventually a precursor to CO2 formation, of yet unindentified composition and observed also in K + O-2 coadsorption studies on graphite, is observed at approximate to 27 meV.

Understanding the initial stages of polymer grafting on metals : A photoelectron spectroscopy study of acrylonitrile adsorption on transition metal surfaces

- X-ray and UV photoelectron spectroscopies show that acrylonitrile is chemisorbed on iron, nickel and copper polycrystalline surfaces via the carbon and nitrogen atoms. Depending on the conditions used, different adsorption geometries are found. The molecules can either be adsorbed flat on the surface and chemically bound by a (2pp)-(3d/4s) overlap via both the C=C double bond and the C=N nitrile group or they can be adsorbed perpendicular to the surface via a covalent interaction between the nitrogen lone pair and the 3d-4s levels of the metals. Analysis of the XPS data obtained on molecular mono-layers chemisorbed on metal surfaces emphasizes the importance of initial-state effects (charge transfer upon chemisorption, contribution of the metal surface dipole) and final-state effects (metal screening and polarization effect within the mono-layer). The correlation between the XPS and UPS data illustrates the importance of the metal surface dipole in understanding the workfunction changes upon molecular adsorption on metal surfaces. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Electronic structure of self-assembled organic/inorganic semiconductor interfaces : lead phthalocyanine on InSb and InAs(100)-4X2/c(8 X2)

- The interfacial properties of ultra thin films of lead-phthalocyanine deposited in situ onto InSb and InAs(100)-4X2/c(8X2) clean surfaces have been studied by synchrotron radiation core level and valence band photoelectron spectroscopy. The interaction between the overlayers and the substrates was determined upon analyzing the changes in the photoemission spectra between room and higher annealing temperatures, leading to ordered monolayer films. While weaker than on other substrates, a reactivity is nevertheless present: the organic macrocycle preserves its integrity up to 320 degreesC but the Pb central atom first leaves the molecules most probably to be incorporated in the substrate surface, before being desorbed at higher temperatures.

Photoelectron spectroscopy of thin films of PEDOT-PSS conjugated polymer blend : A mini-review and some new results

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present an overview of the photoelectron spectroscopy studies of thin films of the commercially important, electrically conducting polymer blend poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) oxidized with poly(4-styrenesulfonate), PEDOT-PSS. The issues discussed include the study of thermal effects, the influence of hydrochloric acid on the chemical and electronic structures of the films, phase segregation, as well as the energy level alignment at interfaces employing a PEDOT-PSS layer. All of these issues are important in applications of PEDOT-PSS as a hole-injecting electrode in polymer-based, light-emitting devices. Among the most important results are the identification of the three chemically different species in pristine PEDOT-PSS, namely poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid), poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), the conversion of the sodium salt into free poly(styrenesulfonic acid) upon HCl treatment, and the decomposition of the free sulfonic acid component (presumably through loss of SO3H) induced by annealing. It is also shown that phase segregation occurs in the PEDOT-PSS system, resulting in a predominance of PSS in the surface region. This issue has been studied using different approaches, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies of the sulfur S(2p) and oxygen O(1s) core levels, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy of the valence band region combined with reference measurements and quantum chemical calculations, as well as variable photon energy investigations of sulfur S(2p) core levels. It is demonstrated that, in the context of the energy level alignment at the polymer-metal interfaces, PEDOT-PSS shows metallic-like behavior. Due to the latter, the insertion of a thin PEDOT-PSS layer between the hole-injecting electrode ITO and a polymer layer of poly(bis-(2-dimethyloctylsilyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) leads to the lowering of the barrier for hole injection, independent of the work function of the underlying ITO. PEDOT-PSS is also used to show the alignment of the electrochemical potential across metal-polymer-metal structures. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

- Photoemission line shapes can be used to extract important information about ground-state and low-energy properties. This is illustrated for the electron–phonon interaction in C60 molecules, the occupancy and hybridization of the 4f-level in Ce compounds, the effect of the Cu–O network on core-level photoemission in cuprates and the properties of one-dimensional conductors.

Resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering spectra at the nitrogen and carbon K-edges of poly(pyridine-2,5-diyl)
- 1999

- Resonant inelastic scattering measurements of the conjugated polymer, poly(pyridine-2,5-diyl) have been performed at the nitrogen and carbon K-edges using synchrotron radiation. For comparison, molecular orbital calculations of the spectra have been carried out with the repeat unit as a model molecule of the polymer chain. The resonant emission spectra show depletion of the π electron bands which is consistent with symmetry selection and momentum conservation rules. The depletion is most obvious in the resonant inelastic scattering spectra of carbon while the nitrogen spectra are dominated by lone pair n orbital emission of σ symmetry and are less excitation energy dependent. By comparing the measurements to calculations an isomeric dependence of the resonant spectra is found giving preference to two of the four possible isomers in the polymer.

XPS and NEXAFS study of tyrosine-terminated propanethiol assembled on gold
- 2003

- Tyrosine-terminated propanethiol (TPT), tyrosine linked to 3-mercaptopropionic acid through an amide bond, is adsorbed to gold surfaces. The adsorbates are characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS). XPS is used to investigate the chemical binding and electronic structure of the monolayer. Strong molecular binding of the tyrosine derivative on the gold surface through the sulfur atom is attained. Angle-dependent XPS results shows that TPT molecules are oriented with the sulfur atoms molecularly oriented close to the gold surface and that the phenol moiety is oriented away from the gold surface. Average orientation of the adsorbate on gold is deduced using the NEXAFS results. It shows that the main molecular axis is tilted approximately 38° relative to the Au surface normal. The ring plane of the phenol moiety exhibits a preferential orientation with an average tilt angle of the normal of the ring plane from the surface normal of about 60°.
