Abstract Variations of the electronic properties of nickel during the first stages of oxidation were studied by means of the soft x-ray appearance potential spectroscopy (APS). The spectra consist of a superposition of contributions from metallic nickel and from NiO and yield no evidence for a continuous change of the oxidation state of the Ni atoms. The binding energy of the 2p3/2-electrons in metallic nickel was found to be 851 eV and is increased in NiO by 1.4 eV. It is concluded from the shape of the APS peaks that with Ni above the Fermi level 3d- and 4s-bands are superimposed whereas with NiO these are separated in energy.

Abstract The oxidation of polycrystalline samples of Ni/Pd-alloys at 600 °C and 2·10-5 Torr O2 has been investigated by means of Auger electron spectroscopy and soft x-ray appearance potential spectroscopy. The clean surfaces are enriched by Pd; and with increasing Pd content the binding energy of the Ni 2p-core levels was found to decrease continuously by 0.7 eV. After completion of the oxidation identical overlayers were formed on all samples (except on pure Pd!) which were identified to consist of NiO. Within the depth probed by the applied techniques (≲20 Å) the rate of oxidation was found to increase with increasing Pd content, which is in contrast to the behaviour to be expected for the growth of thick oxide layers after the formation of a coherent NiO overlayer.

An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study has been performed on well characterized Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2-x Co x O ~8 (x=0, 0.02 and 0.1) samples. There is a shift in the Sr binding energy with Co concentration, which is related to the change in T c . This relationship can be understood by the change of hole concentration in the CuO 2 planes as a result of Cobalt doping. The results of Bi 4f and Co 2p core level spectra are also discussed in detail.
