Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:5.68(Spectroscopy)Surface carbon films on the weathered Japanese roof tiles were characterized by soft X-ray spectroscopy. From the X-ray absorption measurements, it was confirmed that the surface carbon films were oxidized by weathering. On the ohterhand, from the X-ray emission measurements, it can be confirmed that the degree of the orientation was kept in the inner carbon films.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:10.2(Spectroscopy)Polarized emission spectra from graphite have been measured by an EPMA and discussed by means of molecular orbital calculation of 2p electrons densities of state of graphite by some of the present authors. The present study treats the refined measurements of the polarized C K-emission band spectra from the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and discusses the structure of the surface carbons of Japanese traditional smoked roof tiles, Ibushi Kawara.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:28.18(Physics, Applied)Carbon films on Japanese smoked roof tile "Ibushi-Kawara" were characterized by high-resolution soft X-ray spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. By comparing the soft X-ray emission and absorption spectra of Kawara with the reference carbon compounds, it was determined that the carbon films on Kawara consist of mostly carbon-black-like sp2 carbon atoms and that the surface also contains polyethylene-like sp3 carbon atoms. The take-off/incident-angle dependence on the X-ray emission/absorption spectra of Kawara implies that the carbon-black-like sp2 carbon atoms partially form a layer structure parallel to the basal clay plane. From the take-off-angle dependence of the p/s-peak intensity ratio in the X-ray emission spectra, the layer ordering of the carbon films is estimated to be 50% of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Therefore, the metallic oxidized color and durability are due to the layer structure and the random structure that connects the layer-structured clusters, respectively.
