Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in sputtering
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the trends observed when elemental and multicomponent materials are exposed to energetic ion beams, focusing on low-energy (low-energy) sputtering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practical guides for x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy: First steps in planning, conducting, and reporting XPS measurements
Donald R. Baer,Kateryna Artyushkova,C. Richard Brundle,James Castle,Mark H. Engelhard,Karen J. Gaskell,John T. Grant,Richard T. Haasch,Matthew R. Linford,Cedric J. Powell,Alexander G. Shard,Peter M. A. Sherwood,Vincent S. Smentkowski +12 more
TL;DR: This first guide outlines steps appropriate for determining whether XPS is capable of obtaining the desired information, identifies issues relevant to planning, conducting and reporting an XPS measurement, and identifies sources of practical information for conducting XPS measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
The adsorption of oxygen on Fe(110) in the temperature range of 90 to 920 K
TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of O2 on atomically clean Fe(110) in the temperature range of 90 to 920 K was studied and the correlation between the Auger measurements and O2 uptake measurements was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of surface free energy on PDMS transfer in microcontact printing and its application to ToF-SIMS to probe surface energies.
Li Yang,Naoto Shirahata,Gaurav Saini,Feng Zhang,Lei Pei,Matthew C. Asplund,Dirk G. Kurth,Katsuhiko Ariga,Ken Sautter,Takashi Nakanishi,Vincent S. Smentkowski,Matthew R. Linford +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that PDMS transfer can be applied as a probe of surface free energies using ToF-SIMS, where PDMS preferentially transfers onto more hydrophilic surface features during stamping, with little being transferred onto very hydrophobic surface features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorination of Diamond Surfaces by Irradiation of Perfluorinated Alkyl Iodides
TL;DR: In this paper, a facile method for chemically functionalizing diamond surfaces has been developed using x-ray irradiation of perfluoroalkyl iodide layers on the surface, which can be thermally decomposed to produce strongly bound surface C-F bonds that are stable at high temperatures.
