A number of features characteristic of different thin-film analytical methods are reviewed and
evaluated. The principles, approach for quantification and prominent problems of the most …

High-resolution core-level and Auger-electron spectroscopy, polarization-dependent near-
edge x-ray absorption, and angle-resolved photoemission are used to study the electronic …

The bonding at the interface between calcium fluoride and the silicon (111) surface has
been studied with surface-sensitive core-level photoemission spectroscopy. The interface is …

This paper shows how the gallium deltahedra found inthe intermetallic phases of gallium
and alkali metalshave geometries and chemical bonding topologies similar to those found in …

The valence band offsets at the heterointerfaces of the CdF2/CaF2/Si (111) structure grown
by molecular beam epitaxy were evaluated using x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the …

We report on the studies of the 20 keV electron-beam irradiation (current density 50 μA/m 2)
effects on the epitaxial CaF 2 film growth on a Si surface. It was found that, during the CaF 2 …

Palladium metal powders used for hydrogen isotope pumping were studied for their bulk
and surface chemistry changes during cleaning with hydrogen gas at 150° C. Cleaning is …

For the first time, the possibility of producing silicene on CaF2/Si (111) substrates modified
by electron irradiation is experimentally demonstrated. It is shown that areas of the planar …

The effects of 1 keV electron irradiation (current density typically 40 μA cm− 2) on the surface
structure of CaF2 (111) are studied by scanning force microscopy (SFM) to investigate the …

Kinetic variations of the initial stages of CaF 2 growth on Si (111) by molecular-beam epitaxy
are studied with the in situ combination of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and diffraction …
