Using the high energy resolution surface chemistry apparatus at SPring-8's BL23SU it is possible to record angular and chemical-state resolved X-ray photoelectron spectra. Chemical-state specific depth profile information can be obtained from these spectra using the maximum entropy method. Here we describe progress made in the combination of these two techniques, with the specific example of the depth-profiling of various nitridation states present in a Al(111) sample nitrided using a supersonic molecular beam.

The oxidation of SiC surface was studied by real-time X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation to clarify the correlation between oxidation-induced strain and oxidation kinetics. Firstly, a p-type Si(001) surface was carbonized by CH. Then, the surface was oxidized at 773 K under 5.010 Pa of O. After saturation, the O pressure was increased to 1.310 Pa. Si-2p, O-1s, and C-1s photoelectron spectra were measured alternately during oxidation. From the time evolution of C-1s/Si-2p(Si) ratio, it was found that the Si composes of bulk and strained Si atoms. The increase of C-1s/Si-2p(Si) ratio suggests the concentration of carbon at the interface. After O increase, the interface oxidation proceeds. The rate and the oxidation-induced strain decreased with oxidation. We concluded the interface oxidation rate is enhanced by oxidation-induced strain.
