Effects of non-monochromaticity in laboratory XPS: Representative example of pyrimidine
The Mg and Al Kα radiation used in standard laboratory sources for X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, XPS, is not naturally monochromatic because the spin orbit splitting of the Mg and Al 2p shells is not normally resolved. However, since the 2p spin-orbit splitting of the Kα1 and Kα2 X-Rays in these light atoms is small, it is normally ignored. In the present work, the consequences of the departure from monochromaticity is explicitly shown to be extremely small for the representative case of the C(1 s) ionizations in the XPS of the pyrimidine molecule. This conclusion is general and does not depend on the particular molecule studied since the Kα1 and Kα2 BE splittings reflect the spin-orbit splittings in the X-Ray source.
期刊介绍:
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
