Trace contaminants in sputter atmospheres (10(-2) mbar Ar) are determined with a mass spectrometer whose ionizer is directly exposed to the process pressure, whereas the quadrupole filter is kept at high vacuum. The background limitations inherent to conve ...
Evaporation of a Cs overlayer in the submonolayer and monolayer regime on a cleaved GaAs(110) surface has been studied by core-level photoemission spectroscopy. The experimental results show three different adsorption regimes deduced from the lineshape of ...
Diamond growth on a (100) oriented Si substrate by a laser-induced chem. transport reaction (LICTR) method is described. SEM indicated that the LICTR-deposited diamonds had a cubic structure. Their Raman spectrum obsd. at Stokes shifts between 1300 and 137 ...
The photothermal laser-induced chem. vapor deposition of Cu was studied as a function of the writing speed, the light intensity, and the diam. of the focal spot on the substrate, at three different pressures of the Cu bishexafluoroacetylacetonate precursor ...
Mass selected Ag/sub n/ clusters (n=1,7,19) from a secondary ion source have been deposited onto a Pt(111) substrate at low temperature. The surface and resulting cluster morphology have subsequently been characterized within the same UHV chamber by variab ...
High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission and core-level photoemission measurements were performed on single crystal samples of the quasi-one-dimensional material (TaSe4)(2)I and the cuprate superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x. Resistivity measurements were ...
We present an update on recent events concerning ultrabright synchrotron radiation. First and foremost, a new generation of sources has been put in operation in the past few months. Second, microscopy and spectromicroscopy - arguably the techniques that wi ...
Aluminum oxidation states in stoichiometric or substoichiometric configuration are studied by core level photoemission spectroscopy on different substrates (SiO2, graphite). They are compared with recent results reported for the interface Si-Al-n+O. Three ...
Using the X-ray spectromicroscopy technique, we studied the primary and secondary electron photoemission of cesium iodide (CsI) films deposited on different substrates, such as copper, aluminum, stainless-steel, and gold-coated quartz. We found an increase ...
We present preliminary results for thin films grown with a recently commissioned ion beam codeposition system designed for in situ growth and etching of YBCO films. The apparatus consists of a high-vacuum chamber (10-7 Torr) equipped with four Kaufmann ion ...
