Investigation of multiplet splitting of Fe 2p XPS spectra and bonding in iron compounds

Abstract Ferrous (Fe 2+ ) and ferric (Fe 3+ ) compounds were investigated by XPS to determine the usefulness of calculated multiplet peaks to fit high‐resolution iron 2p 3/2 spe...

New interpretations of XPS spectra of nickel metal and oxides

X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopic chemical state quantification of mixed nickel metal, oxide and hydroxide systems

Abstract Quantitative chemical state X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of mixed nickel metal, oxide, hydroxide and oxyhydroxide systems is challenging due to the comple...

X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies of chromium compounds

Abstract Photoelectron spectra of a number of chromium oxides and other compounds were studied under high spectral resolution conditions chosen to reduce the possibility of diff...

Interactions of CO ₂ and CO at fractional atmosphere pressures with iron and iron oxide surfaces: one possible mechanism for surface contamination?

Abstract The interactions of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide at moderately high pressures with clean iron surfaces have been studied using x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (X...
