Interstitial carbides and nitrides of early transition metals (groups IVB-VIB) are produced by
dissolving carbon and nitrogen atoms into the metal lattices. These carbide and nitride …

Auger and direct electron spectra from Zn, ZnO, Ga and Ga 2 O 3 have been studied with X-
ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA). The chemical shift between zinc electron binding …

Niobium surfaces show features that have been blamed on the unavoidable oxidation that
occurs during the preparation of the Nb. To quantitatively measure the oxidation, XPS and …

The review surveys the conditions of formation and properties of four forms of surface carbon
on transition metals, to wit, adsorbed atoms and clusters, surface carbide and graphite, and …

Full phonon-dispersion curves of the graphitic layer on some transition-metal carbides were
measured by using high-resolution electron-energy-loss spectroscopy. The graphitic layer …

The phonon structure of monolayer graphite formed on some transition-metal carbides has
been investigated by using electron-energy-loss spectroscopy. The dispersion relations of …

The effects of a change in the chemical environment of an atom in a surface region are
manifested in several subtle ways on the measured Auger electron spectra. The first, a shift …

Low energy electron diffraction patterns obtained from the (111),(110) and (100) diamond
surfaces are presented. The surface atomic spacing for the case of no reconstruction is …

The deposition of MoS2 and TiS2 thin films from the metal-organic precursors Mo (St-Bu) 4
and Ti (St-Bu) 4 has been investigated. Stoichiometric films with low levels of oxygen and …

Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) was used to characterize the oxide scale formed on an∼
0.5 wt.% Ga plutonium metal alloy. Analysis of changes to the characteristic Auger …
