The initial oxidation on silicon surfaces with (113) orientation has been investigated by high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. In the present study, we investigated both the Si2p state and O1s state to evaluate the oxide thickness, composition, and to assess the strain at the SiO$$_{2}$$/Si interface. In the Si2p state, the oxidized components (Si$$^{1+}$$, Si$$^{2+}$$, Si$$^{3+}$$, Si$$^{4+}$$) were analyzed. In the O1s state, a low-binding-energy component (LBC) and a high-binding-energy component (HBC) were analyzed. To investigate the non-thermal oxidation process, we utilized the supersonic seeded molecular beam (SSMB) to enhance the translational kinetic energies ($$E_{rm t}$$) of oxygen molecules. We demonstrate that the oxide quality and oxidation kinetics are largely altered by changing $$E_{rm t}$$.

We report valence-band electronic structure evolution of graphene oxide (GO) upon its thermal reduction. The degree of oxygen functionalization was controlled by annealing temperature, and an electronic structure evolution was monitored using real-time ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. We observed a drastic increase in the density of states around the Fermi level upon thermal annealing at $$sim$$ 600$$^{circ}$$C. The result indicates that while there is an apparent bandgap for GO prior to a thermal reduction, the gap closes after an annealing around that temperature. This trend of bandgap closure was correlated with the electrical, chemical, and structural properties to determine a set of GO material properties that is optimal for optoelectronics. The results revealed that annealing at a temperature of 500$$^{circ}$$C leads to the desired properties, demonstrated by a uniform and an order of magnitude enhanced photocurrent map of an individual GO sheet compared to an as-synthesized counterpart.

Ni-based alloys has been widely used for plant application because of their high strength and excellent oxidation resistance. In particular, the addition of Cu in Ni-based alloys significantly improves the metal dusting resistance. It is indicated that Cu is segregated on the alloy surface in the metal dusting environment; however, the details have not been clarified yet. The behavior of Ni-2Cu alloy under a high temperature oxidation environment was investigated using ${{it in situ}}$ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was confirmed that Cu have been segregated at the surface of Ni-2Cu alloy during oxidation. These results propose that the Cu segregation improves the metal dusting resistance.

Surface temperature dependence of oxidation of Cu$$_{3}$$Au(111) by an energetic oxygen molecule

Tsuda, Yasutaka*; Yoshigoe, Akitaka; Teraoka, Yuden; Okada, Michio*

We report a study on the surface-temperature ($$T_{s}$$) dependence of oxidation process at Cu$$_{3}$$Au(111) by using a hyperthermal oxygen molecular beam and synchrotron-radiation X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The O-1s spectra and the corresponding O-uptake curves demonstrate that Cu$$_{2}$$O domains grow effectively at high $$T_{s}$$ of 400 and 500 K. The simple analysis of the O distribution suggests that the temperature-induced atomic diffusion causes the Cu$$_{2}$$O domains growing thicker at 500 K. The oxidation of Cu$$_{3}$$Au(111) is less efficient at $$T_{s}$$ = 300-500 K than that of Cu(111), demonstrating that the protective nature of Cu$$_{3}$$Au against oxidation, in comparison to Cu, remains even at high $$T_{s}$$.

Spontaneous activation behavior of Ni$$_{3}$$Sn, an intermetallic catalyst, for hydrogen production via methanol decomposition

Fan, M.*; Xu, Y.*; Sakurai, Junya*; Demura, Masahiko*; Hirano, Toshiyuki*; Teraoka, Yuden; Yoshigoe, Akitaka

The catalytic properties of single-phase Ni$$_{3}$$Sn powder in the production of hydrogen via the decomposition of methanol were investigated in isothermal tests at 713, 793, and 873 K. The catalytic activity of Ni$$_{3}$$Sn significantly increased with time at 793 and 873 K, but not at 713 K, suggesting that Ni$$_{3}$$Sn is spontaneously activated at temperatures above 793 K. At these temperatures, Ni$$_{3}$$Sn showed high selectivity for H$$_{2}$$ and CO production and low selectivity for CH$$_{4}$$, CO$$_{2}$$, and H$$_{2}$$O production, indicating that methanol decomposition was the main reaction, and that side reactions such as methanation and water-gas shift reaction were suppressed. Surface analysis revealed that fine Ni$$_{3}$$Sn particles were formed during the reaction, accompanied by a small amount of deposited carbon. The formation of these particles was suggested to be the cause for the spontaneous activation of Ni$$_{3}$$Sn.

Graphene has attracted much attention as a promising material in electronics and photonics. The graphitization temperature of 1473 K or higher of graphene-on-silicon(GOS), however, is still too high to be fully compatible with the Si technology. Here, the first application of Ni-assisted formation of graphene to the GOS method was reported. We demonstrate that the graphene formation temperature can be reduced by more than 200 K by this method. Moreover, solid-phase reactions during heating/annealing/cooling procedures have been investigated in detail by using ${{it in-situ}}$ synchrotron-radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As a result, we clarify the role of Ni/SiC reactions, in which not only Ni silicidation and but also Ni carbonization is suggested as a key process in the formation of graphene.

In situ synchrotron radiation photoemission study of ultrathin surface oxides of Ge(111)-c(2$$times$$8) induced by supersonic O$$_{2}$$ beams

We studied the surface oxidation on a Ge(111)-c(2$$times$$8) surface at room temperature using supersonic oxygen beams as a function of the translational energy of the incident oxygen molecules ranging from 26 meV to 2.3 eV. In situ synchrotron photoemission spectroscopy performed during the oxidation revealed that the surface oxidation terminated with the formation of a sub-monolayer oxide of at most 0.52 ML, for all the beam energies examined. In addition, the oxidation state of the surface oxides was found to depend on the translational energy. These results demonstrate the precise chemical control of the ultrathin surface oxides of Ge(111)-c(2$$times$$8).

${{it In situ}}$ synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy study of the oxidation of the Ge(100)-2$$times$$1 surface by supersonic molecular oxygen beams

${{it In situ}}$ synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy was performed during the oxidation of the Ge(100)-2$$times$$1 surface induced by a molecular oxygen beam with various incident energies up to 2.2 eV from the initial to saturation coverage of surface oxides. The saturation coverage of oxygen on the clean Ge(100) surface was much lower than one monolayer and the oxidation state of Ge was +2 at most. This indicates that the Ge(100) surface is in strong contrast to Si surfaces. The direct adsorption process can be activated by increasing the translational energy, resulting in an increased population of Ge$$^{2+}$$ and a higher final oxygen coverage. Our findings will contribute to the fundamental understanding of oxygen adsorption processes at 300 K from the initial stages to saturated oxidation.
