TL;DR: In this article, a surface layer of hydration is identified from the curve fitting of the O is core level, which would qualitatively account for the slight underestimate of film thickness provided by the expression for d XPS.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface reconstructions for diamond surfaces in the presence of hydrogen or following thermal annealing are reviewed, and the destructive effects of argon ion bombardment cleaning are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, high sensitivity and spectral resolution XPS, polarisation-modulation reflection FTIR and static SIMS have been used in the investigation of the interfacial chemistry between poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and an aluminium oxyhydroxide surface.

TL;DR: The Scienta ESCA300 as mentioned in this paper is a state-of-the-art x-ray photoelectron spectrometer with high intensity, and high energy and spatial resolution, made possible by the use of a high-power rotating anode xray source with monochromatization, high transmission and imaging electron optics and multichannel detector.

TL;DR: Heterogeneous Ru/Re and Rh/Re catalysts, formed in situ from Ru 3 (CO) 12 /Re 2 (CO), 10 and Rh 6 (CO, 16 /RRe 2, 10 respectively, are effective for the liquid phase hydrogenation of cyclohexanecarboxamide (CyCONH 2 ) to CyCH 2 NH 2 in up to 95% selectivity without the requirement for ammonia to inhibit secondary and tertiary amine formation as discussed by the authors.
