The total intensity from Cu(II) species is represented in the combination of the signals from the direct photoemission (A1) and the shaken-up photoemission (B). 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 Binding Energy (eV) In 3d Sn 3d. No peaks corresponding to stainless steel from the ball-milling material were detected. For example, the main emission line (A) in Figure 1 contains both Cu(II) (A1) and Cu(0) (A2) contributions but the satellite intensity (B) is entirely from Cu(II). XPS peaks corresponding to Cu 2p, Ce 3d, Ce MNN, O 1s, Ce 4d are present in a survey XPS spectrum of CuO-CeO 2 powders milled for 30, 60, 90 and 120 min, respectively (not shown). For an element such as silicon, both the Si 2s and Si 2p transitions are of suitable intensity for use in quantification. Hence, these electrons are part of the total Cu 2p emission and should be included in both total Cu and relative chemical state speciation. Relative Intensity of Peaks in XPS Each element has a range of electronic states open to excitation by the x-rays. The kinetic energy of the shaken-up core electron is then slightly reduced giving a satellite structure a few eV below (higher on the calculated BE scale) the core level position. Shake-up peaks may occur when the outgoing photoelectron simultaneously interacts with a valence electron and excites it to a higher-energy level. a database of standard spectra can be managed in CasaXPS via the SIMS Toolbar. This method of Cu(0):Cu(II) (or Cu(I):Cu(II)) determination depends on shake-up peaks that are present in the spectra of d 9 Cu(II) containing samples but are absent in d 10 Cu(0) (or Cu(I)) spectra. Peak Model for Polymers containing Carbon Bonded to Oxygen and Hydrogen. Alternatively if Cu(II) species and Cu(I) species are present, the Cu(I):Cu(II) ratio can be determined. Phase and Morphology in Mixed CuO-WO 3 Films for Chemical Sensing A. If, for example, a Cu metal surface is oxidized to Cu(II), the shake-up structure associated with the Cu(II) species can be used for a Cu(0):Cu(II) quantification. A detailed description of the bonding interactions of these coordinated Cu+ species in terms of initial and final state effects of the photoemission process has been also carried out by means of quantum mechanical calculations and cluster models.Quantification of the amount of Cu(II) species on a Cu(0) or Cu(I) containing surface does appear to be possible. A change in the values of alpha' and BE of copper (ie., delta alpha' = 1.1 eV, deltaBE = 0.1 eV) upon adsorption on the Cu+ species of Cu2O moieties dispersed on SiO2 of a phenyl-acetylene molecule illustrates the use of XPS to study the formation of cation-ligand complexes in heterogeneous systems. The effect of the polarization of the surrounding media around the copper cations has been also estimated for both the dispersed clusters supported on the SiO2 substrate and for the copper oxide materials in bulk form. These interactions have been modeled by means of quantum mechanical calculations with cluster models simulating the Cu-O-Si bonding at the interface. The observed changes have been described in terms of the chemical state vector (CSV) concept in a Wagner plot and rationalized by considering the characteristics of bonding and electronic interactions that occur at a given oxide/oxide interface. The differences in BE calculated from the values of the lowest amount of deposited material and those of the bulk compounds were -0.4 eV (Cu2O) and -1.9 eV (CuO), while those in alpha' amounted to 2.9 (Cu2O) and 1.6 eV (CuO). Not always a valid charge reference value (e.g., C1s peak for adventitious carbon on native oxide of aluminium appears at 286eV). The C-C component may be set to a binding energy of 284.8eV, by default. C1s spectrum for contamination typically has C-C, C-O-C, and O-CO components. Large variations in the Cu 2p(3/2) binding energy (BE) and Auger parameter (alpha') have been found as a function of the type and amount of deposited copper oxide. Adventitious carbon contamination is commonly used as a charge reference for XPS spectra. XPS has been used to analyze the chemical and coordination state of copper.

Copper oxides (Cu2O and CuO) have been deposited on the surface of a flat SiO2 substrate by evaporation of copper and subsequent oxidization of the deposited particles. This is useful (along with the O 1s signal if only Cu species are present) in determining which A1 s /B s value to use for Cu(0):Cu(II) (or Cu(I):Cu(II)) calculations. This study is of relevance for investigations in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis and coordination chemistry. It should be noted that the peak-shape and main peak to shake-up peak separation is quite different for Cu(OH) 2 and CuO (Figure 1). This paper reports an analysis of the changes in the photoemission parameters of copper in small particles of copper oxides deposited on silicon dioxide.
