The present materials were prepared on Si(100) substrates by the chemical vapor deposition of cobalt oxide under O2 + H2O atmospheres, followed by the tailored introduction of SnO2 or Fe2O3 by means of radio frequency-sputtering. Material structural and morphological characterization revealed the formation of nanocomposite heterostructures involving a conformal Co3O4 coverage by SnO2 or Fe2O3 overlayers. Survey spectra as well as detailed scans of C 1s, O 1s, Co 2p, Sn 3d, and Fe 2p regions are presented and critically discussed. The results provide evidence for the formation of pure and oxygen-deficient nanocomposites, and the occurrence of an electronic interplay between the single oxide constituents.","PeriodicalId":22006,"journal":{"name":"Surface Science Spectra","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45416044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present the HS-LEIS spectra of zinc obtained with 3 keV 4He+ and 4 keV 20Ne+ projectile ions. Zinc is an important material with a wide range of applications. Thus, these spectra should be useful standards/references for future applications. A high purity zinc foil was used for these measurements after the removal of the oxide layer. As a reference for the instrumental sensitivity, the spectra for Cu from a high purity foil are also included with this submission. Atomic sensitivity and relative sensitivity factors for Zn and Cu are reported.","PeriodicalId":22006,"journal":{"name":"Surface Science Spectra","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48260016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detailed LMM Auger spectra of Mo show marked increases in intensity and altered shape when x-ray energy exceeds the Mo 1s binding energy.
