The results showed that liquid ammonia pretreatment could cause certain damage to the surface structure and disulfide bonds in keratin, which enhanced the action of protease on wool surface and catalytic hydrolysis of the cuticle. The joint treatment of liquid ammonia and protease changed the secondary structure of wool. The content of α‐helix and random crimp increased, while the content of β‐sheet decreased. In addition, the shrink resistance of wool fabric was significantly improved without obvious losses in tensile strength and elongation. The combination of liquid ammonia and protease treatments provides a potential new method for the surface modification and eco‐friendly shrink‐resistant finishing of wool and further widens the application of liquid ammonia in textile industry.","PeriodicalId":22062,"journal":{"name":"Surface and Interface Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135461996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon has been utilized in several methods to analyze target materials. In analytical techniques, the method used to detect secondary ions is called “secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).” In contrast, “secondary ion mass spectrometry with optical emission spectrometry (SIMS‐OES)” detects photons emitted from sputtered, excited atoms. Both SIMS and OES can characterize a sample surface and perform local elemental analysis of the surface, depth profiling of elements, and detection of any atom. SIMS with high sensitivity has mainly been developed for the impurity analyses of semiconductors. However, no research has been reported on applications using SIMS‐OES or a combination of SIMS and SIMS‐OES. In this study, we prove that atomic emission can be observed via ion irradiation. In addition, we show that the composition analysis is possible using the SIMS‐OES method. Herein, impurity and composition analyses were enabled by utilizing atomic emission. Moreover, we proved that an assessment with high‐depth direction resolution is feasible by etching the circumference of a crater in advance.","PeriodicalId":22062,"journal":{"name":"Surface and Interface Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135853673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results have shown that the absolute value of adsorption energy increases with decreasing the coverage from 1 to 1/4 monolayer. Mulliken charge analysis, band structures, and density of states were calculated and discussed. We found that H and OH adsorption increases the band gap energy from 2.81 eV for clean surfaces to 3.04, 2.95, and 2.89 eV with, respectively, 1, 1/2 and 1/4 monolayer surface coverages.

The same X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy image data set was analyzed in all three notes. We now show an analysis of this same data set using multivariate curve resolution (MCR). MCR is a widely used exploratory data analysis method. Because of MCR's nonnegativity constraints, it has the important advantage of producing factors that look like real spectra. That is, both its scores and loadings are positive, so its results are often more interpretable than those from PCA. The requirements for preprocessing data are also, in general, lower for MCR compared with PCA. To help determine the number of factors that best describe the data set, a series of MCR models with different numbers of factors was created. Based on the chemical reasonableness of its factors, a two‐factor model was selected. Scores plots/images show the regions of the image that correspond to these two factors.","PeriodicalId":22062,"journal":{"name":"Surface and Interface Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134976018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tribological tests show that the concentrations of the modified Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles ranging from 0 to 1.0 wt% in the mixed lubricant are helpful for obtaining low wear rate due to the formation of graphene‐like materials induced by tribochemical reactions. On the other hand, when the concentration reaches 1.5 wt.%, the tribosystem exhibits high coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate, which is attributed to the formation of reunited groups consisting of the modified Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles and graphene‐like materials. This investigation should give a positive guidance for the design of the mixed lubricant with excellent lubrication properties.","PeriodicalId":22062,"journal":{"name":"Surface and Interface Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136236968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GIXRD analysis of the as‐deposited and irradiated samples revealed increasing structural modifications of the SiO 2 thin films under Au q+ ion impacts with increasing ion‐beam energy. The changes consisted of decreased grain sizes with increased strain accompanied by a phase transformation from crystalline to amorphous films. RBS analysis showed a decrease in the mean stoichiometric (O/Si) ratio from (2.2 ± 0.1) to (1.7 ± 0.1), due to preferential sputtering of oxygen, as the incident ion energy increased. The obtained RBS‐results were then completed by those of ToF‐ERDA analysis technique using a 40 MeV Au 9+ heavy ion beam. The preferential sputtering yield ratios (Y Si /Y O ) were determined experimentally both versus electronic stopping power and ion fluence. The obtained results were then compared to numerical values derived from the inelastic thermal spike (i‐TS) model, Sigmund's analytical formula and SRIM simulation code. A good agreement was observed between the measured preferential sputtering data and the i‐TS calculated values, when considering both nuclear elastic and electronic inelastic collision mechanisms. Besides, a close correlation is observed between the electronic stopping power dependent measured sputtering yields and the XRD peak intensity degradation per unit fluence. These observations suggest that the same mechanism of MeV heavy ion‐irradiation induced extended atomic disordering, occurs both in the case of structural modifications and surface sputtering. Finally, the obtained experimental results are discussed on the basis of the i‐TS model.","PeriodicalId":22062,"journal":{"name":"Surface and Interface Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135206084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, six possible compounds that come from BaTiO 3 and BiCoO 3 were constructed. By calculating the different antiferromagnetic (AFM) structures of strip, columnar, and layered composite structures, it is found that the ground state of the composite structure changes to G‐type AFM structure from C‐type AFM structure of pure BiCoO 3 under the influence of BaTiO 3 . Energy band calculations show that band gaps of three composite structures are smaller than those of pure BaTiO 3 and pure BiCoO 3 . Furthermore, density of states analysis shows that the conduction band minimum (CBM) and valence band maximum (VBM) of three composite structures are mainly from the contribution of Co 3 d and O 2 p . For the characteristic that CBM and VBM of materials come from different atoms, it would reduce the recombination opportunities of electrons and holes and is conducive to the increase of photoelectric conversion efficiency under visible light irradiation. The calculation of optical properties shows that optical absorption coefficients of three composite structures are much larger than that of BaTiO 3 , especially the layered composite structure. There is a high absorption peak near 500 nm of the solar spectral irradiation maximum, which is significantly important to improve the optical energy conversion efficiency of the composite materials. The work provides an effective way for the application of wide band gap ferroelectric materials in ferroelectric photovoltaic.","PeriodicalId":22062,"journal":{"name":"Surface and Interface Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135208099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Upon oxygen plasma treatment, the surface near region of the films is converted into SiO x , and the microporosity is increased. Atomic layer deposition of Al 2 O 3 on the plasma oxidized films leads to the decrease of pore sizes and an effective sealing. A correlation between the film microporosity and the change of hydroxyl groups of the films with the adsorption of water was established by ellipsometric porosimetry and in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Moreover, electrochemical analysis provided complementary information on the electrolyte up‐take in the differently conditioned thin films.","PeriodicalId":22062,"journal":{"name":"Surface and Interface Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135205928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
