Слои диоксида олова синтезированы гидротермальным методом из водного раствора SnF. Наночастицы серебра осаждены на поверхность полученных слоев методом фотовосстановления. Проведено исследование морфологии поверхности образцов методом атомно-силовой микроскопии. Размер наночастиц серебра зависит от концентрации раствора AgNO, используемого для проведения реакции фотовосстановления. При синтезе из раствора с концентрацией 0,02 М размер полученных наночастиц составляет варьируется от 10 до 100 нм, при увеличении концентрации раствора в два раза размер наночастиц составляет порядка 100 нм. С помощью рентгеновской фотоэлектронной спектроскопии изучен состав поверхности слоев до и после осаждения наночастиц серебра. При выбранных условиях синтеза формируется слой диоксида олова без посторонних включений, и происходит осаждение металлического серебра. Химический сдвиг пиков олова и кислорода после осаждения наночастиц серебра свидетельствует об обмене электронами между оловом и серебром. Полученные слои представляют интерес для применения в области полупроводниковых адсорбционных газовых сенсоров. Tin dioxide layers were synthesized by hydrothermal method from an aqueous solution of SnF. Silver nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of the obtained layers by the photoreduction method. The surface morphology of the samples was studied by atomic force microscopy. The size of the silver nanoparticles depends on the concentration of the AgNO solution used for the photoreduction reaction. When synthesized from 0,02 M solution with a concentration of, the size of the nanoparticles varies from 10 to 100 nm, when the concentration of the solution is doubled, the size of the nanoparticles is about 100 nm. The surface composition of the layers before and after the deposition of silver nanoparticles was studied using the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was shown that a layer of the tin dioxide is formed without external inclusions, and metallic silver is deposited. The chemical shift of the peaks of tin and oxygen after the deposition of silver nanoparticles indicates the exchange of electrons between tin and silver. The synthesized layers are of interest for application in the field of semiconductor adsorption gas sensors.

In an effort to study an alternative approach to make graphene from graphene oxide (GO), exposure of GO to high-energy X-ray radiation has been performed. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been used to characterize GO before and after irradiation. Results indicate that GO exposed to high-energy radiation is converted to an amorphous carbon phase that is conductive.

The surface composition and morphology of FA0.85MA0.15Pb(I0.85Br0.15)3 films fabricated by the spin-coating method with different concentrations of NH2-POSS were investigated with atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AR-XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was found that the surface composition of the FA0.85MA0.15Pb(I0.85Br0.15)3 films was changed regularly through the interaction between NH2-POSS and the perovskite film. The corresponding surface morphological changes were also observed. When the concentration of NH2-POSS exceeded 10 mg/mL, a lot of cracks on the surface of the perovskite film were observed and the surface morphology was damaged. The surface composition and its distribution can be adjusted by changing the concentration of NH2-POSS and the proper concentration of NH2-POSS can substantially improve the quality of perovskite film.

Thin films of silica containing silver nanoparticles were deposited by magnetron co-sputtering followed by thermal annealing in air or Ar + 2% H2. Laser fragmentation of the particles was carried out at two different wavelengths. The films were characterized by UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy and plasmon resonance numerical modeling based on the Mie theory, together with Rutherford backscattering elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy chemical characterization, combined with statistical analysis of the transmission electron microscopy micrographs, and surface topography study by atomic force microscopy. It is demonstrated that the fragmentation is a result of a thermal process and its mechanism does not depend on the laser wavelength as long as the laser light is absorbed by the silver particles. Laser treatment with moderate fluences does not alter the precipitated metal content while fragmenting the particles. TEM study indicates that laser assisted silver particle modification can serve as a method for narrowing the particle size distribution.

Silver (Ag) deposition was performed on a polyaniline-precoated surface for textile metallization. Polyaniline was utilized as an intermediate layer on fabrics to facilitate Ag formation. Inductivily coupled plasma atomic emission spectgrometry (ICP-AES) was used to monitor the content of metallic elements on Ag-laden polyaniline layers prepared under different conditions of polyaniline fomation. The surface modification of the samples before and after Ag plating was characterized by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

ABSTRACTZnxCd1-xTe is a widely used substrate for the epitaxial growth of HgCdTe, which is used in infrared detectors. Results of the effect of sputtering of ZnxCd1-xTe single crystals with low energy Ar beam are reported in this paper. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoluminescence (PL) techniques were used to measure the concentration of Zn in these crystals. Selective sputtering of Zn atoms has been observed from freshly cleaved crystals using XPS studies. Sputtering is a common method of cleaning ZnxCd1-xTe crystals in their device preparation and our studies show that this method of cleaning alters the surface which may introduce lattice mismatch on the surface. Surface morphology before and after cleaving the crystals is studied using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

ABSTRACTX-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to investigate grain boundary diffusion of Ag through 250 Å thick Ni80Fe20 (permalloy) films in the temperature range of 375 to 475°C. Grain boundary diffusivities were determined by modeling the accumulation of Ag on Ni80Fe20 surfaces as a function of time at fixed annealing temperature. The grain boundary diffusivity of Ag through Ni80Fe20 is characterized by a diffusion coefficient prefactor, D0,gb, of 0.9 cm2/sec and an activation energy, Ea,gb, of 2.2 eV. The Ni80Fe20 film microstructure has been investigated before and after annealing by atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The microstructure of Ni80Fe20 deposited on Ag underlayers remained relatively unchanged upon annealing.

Quantitative Treatment

In this work, cellulose films pre-activated with carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and grafted with 1,6-hexanediamine, were decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The generation of AgNPs was followed by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The obtained films were characterized by X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and imaged by atomic force microscopy (AFM). XPS confirmed the synthesis in situ of AgNPs on the film attesting their oxidation state. The results from the three techniques were compared showing how sound the quantitative treatment of the results issued from these techniques can be. The main objective of this work is exactly to show that the quantitative exploration of the results of different characterization techniques can and should be practiced systematically instead of just comparing them qualitatively.

Metastable Induced Electron Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (He I and He II), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, and Atomic Force Microscopy were employed to study the interaction of silver with lignin as well as with two of its natural precursors, coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol. For all three of them, no chemical interaction between the adsorbed silver and the organic substrate was found before contact with air. Nevertheless, silver nanoparticles were found in all three cases after contact with air. Thus, a process of silver nanoparticle formation during the decomposition of the organic molecules is suggested, similar to the previously found catalytic decomposition of cinnamyl alcohol by water in the presence of silver atoms.

AbstractHf metal thin films were deposited on Si substrates using a pulsed laser deposition technique in vacuum and in ammonia ambients. The films were then oxidized at 400 °C in 300 Torr of O2. Half the samples were oxidized in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from a Hg lamp array. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and grazing angle X-ray diffraction were used to compare the crystallinity, roughness, and composition of the films. It has been found that UV radiation causes roughening of the films and also promotes crystallization at lower temperatures.Furthermore, increased silicon oxidation at the interface was noted with the UVirradiated samples and was shown to be in the form of a mixed layer using angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Incorporation of nitrogen into the film reduces the oxidation of the silicon interface.

Aim: To prepare a novel hybrid system for the controlled release and delivery of curcumin (CUR). Methods: A method for the ultrasound-assisted fabrication of protein-modified nanosized graphene oxide-like carbon-based nanoparticles (CBNPs) was developed. After being modified with bovine serum albumin (BSA), CUR was loaded onto the synthesized hybrid (labeled CBNPs@BSA–CUR). The structure and properties of the synthesized nanoparticles were elucidated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods. Results: CBNPs@BSA–CUR showed pH sensitivity and were calculated as controlled CUR release behavior. The drug-free system exhibited good biocompatibility and was nontoxic. However, CBNPs@BSA–CUR showed acceptable antiproliferative ability against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Conclusion: CBNPs@BSA–CUR could be considered a highly promising nontoxic nanocarrier for the delivery of CUR with good biosafety.
