The use of many plastic packaging materials such as PVC, PAN, etc. to protect food and beverages is restricted because of toxicity and recycling problems and there is a need for the development of new packaging materials with good gas barrier properties. P ...
Using (secondary) photoelectron emission microscopy, we studied the fully formed 80 Angstrom Pt/n-GaP(001) interface with a lateral resolution better than 2 mu m. We probed the chemically etched and sulfur passivated GaP(001) surface by ultraviolet and sof ...
Spatially resolved x-ray secondary electron photoemission spectra revealed lateral changes in quantum efficiency and chemical composition of polycrystalline cesium iodide photodetectors. Such changes depend on the substrate (stainless steel or aluminum). T ...
The observation of a wedge-shaped semiconductor specimen by transmission electron microscopy (WTEM) is an interesting alternative to conventional TEM. Information on chemical composition, layer thickness down to atomic resolution, spatial extension of the ...
We investigated the interdiffusion of InGaAs/InP quantum wells (QWs) due to rapid thermal annealing (RTA) by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and wedge transmission electron microscopy (WTEM). After RTA at temperatures between 650 and 900 degrees C (ann ...
SnO2 thin films have been grown by radio frequency reactive sputtering method in order to be used as a gas sensor. Subsequently Pt has been added to the SnO2 films to increase the sensitivity to carbon monoxide gas. Two different substrates have been used: ...
The elemental compn. of microorganisms varies widely with respect to the N, S, P, and ash content as well as many trace elements depending on microorganism and growth conditions. As a consequence, the mass of 1 C-mol of biomass can differ considerably from ...
We present recent results of the study of surface properties and quantum efficiency (QE) of CsI photocathodes prepared on various substrates. Microanalysis methods provide laterally resolved surface morphology and chemical composition of the photoemissive ...
The microstructure and chemical composition of sputtered thin films are strongly correlated with the deposition conditions. In the present work, we report the investigation of the film composition by electron probe microanalysis and photoemission experimen ...
