Real-time observation of gas-solid surface reactions by using synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy

Yoshigoe, Akitaka 

Real-time photoelectron spectroscopy studies of solid surface reactions that have been carried out at the surface reaction experimental station at the JAEA soft X-ray beamline (BL23SU) in SPring-8 are presented. This invited lecture will provide an overview of the equipment and techniques used, focusing on the study of semiconductor surface oxidation, and introduce the usefulness of real-time photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation, including its application to other reaction systems such as metals. Future prospects for material DX research, which has been rapidly paying attention in recent years, will also be talked.
