Abstract X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been carried out to study the reaction of differently prepared palladium samples (solid and film Pd) with atmospheric oxygen. A careful curve fitting of the measured Pd-3d5/2 peak allows to separate the Pd-3d5/2 peak for Pd in surface PdO from the dominant Pd-3d5/2 peak of the non-oxidized bulk palladium and to determine the chemical shift of the "oxidized" Pa line with high accuracy. Differences in the chemical shifts for the surface PdO on solid and film palladium are explained by a different charging caused by the photoelectric effect in XPS measurements. The smaller charging effect observed for film palladium as compared to solid palladium indicates a stronger oxygen bonding to the (rougher) film palladium. The strong Pd-O bonding seems to be an essential reason for the reduced hydrogen-permeability of film palladium compared to solid palladium

AbstractThe conversion of photon energy into other energetic forms in molecules is accompanied by charge moving on ultrafast timescales. We directly observe the charge motion at a specific site in an electronically excited molecule using time-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (TR-XPS). We extend the concept of static chemical shift from conventional XPS by the excited-state chemical shift (ESCS), which is connected to the charge in the framework of a potential model. This allows us to invert TR-XPS spectra to the dynamic charge at a specific atom. We demonstrate the power of TR-XPS by using sulphur 2p-core-electron-emission probing to study the UV-excited dynamics of 2-thiouracil. The method allows us to discover that a major part of the population relaxes to the molecular ground state within 220–250 fs. In addition, a 250-fs oscillation, visible in the kinetic energy of the TR-XPS, reveals a coherent exchange of population among electronic states.

ABSTRACTA zirconolite glass-ceramic material is a candidate wasteform for immobilisation of chlorine contaminated plutonium residues, in which plutonium and chlorine are partitioned to the zirconolite and aluminosilicate glass phase, respectively. A preliminary investigation of chlorine speciation was undertaken by analysis of Cl K-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy (XANES), to understand the incorporation mechanism. Cl was found to be speciated as the Cl- anion within the glass phase, according to the characteristic chemical shift of the X-ray absorption edge. By comparison with Cl K-edge XANES data acquired from reference compounds, the local environment of the Cl- anion is most closely approximated by the mineral marialite, in which Cl is co-ordinate to 4 x Na and/or Ca atoms.
