Abstract

The oxidation of UO/sub 2/ at 298 K has been studied by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with a view to the characterization of U 4f shake-up satellites as a possible monitor of surface composition. On oxidation of U 4f shake-up satellite positioned at 8.2 eV to the high binding energy side of the U 4f/sub 5/2,7/2/ peaks is observed to grow progressively. It is proposed that this satellite is associated with the presence of anion defect clusters in UO/sub 2+x/.

Electronic structure of uranium halides and oxyhalides in the solid state. An X-ray photoelectron spectral study of bonding ionicity

Journal Article Thibaut, E ; Boutique, J P ; Verbist, J J ; ... - J. Am. Chem. Soc.; (United States)

Core and valence X-ray photoelectron spectra of 18 uranium halides (U/sup 3 +/ to U/sup 5 +/) and oxyhalides (U/sup 3 +/ to U/sup 6 +/) (fluorides, chlorides, and bromides) are described. The results are discussed, as a function of halogen nature and compounds stoichiometry, in terms of ionicity of the bonds, of U 5f participation in bonding, and effect of oxygen. Evidence is produced that UF/sub 3/ has an unexpectedly strong covalent character. The experimental study of uranium halides (F, Cl, Br) and oxyhalides has brought to light some important information about the nature of chemical bonding in thesemore »« less

Probing Surface Oxidation of Reduced Uranium Dioxide Thin Film Using Synchrotron Radiation

Journal Article Senanayake, S ; Waterhouse, G ; Chan, A ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry B

The work presents a study of the formation of defects created by argon ion sputtering of UO{sub 2} thin film surfaces using high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with photon energy of 625 eV. Stable-defected surfaces of UO{sub 2-x} were monitored by the uranium core level lines found at the low-binding energy side of the U{sup +4} features. The lower end of these states gave binding energies at 377.1 and 387.7 eV attributed to U4f{sub 7/2} and U4f{sub 5/2} core levels peaks, respectively, for metallic uranium (U{sup {circ}}). In between both states (U{sup {circ}} and U{sup +4}), the clear presence of othermore »« less

Theoretical modeling of the uranium 4f XPS for U(VI) and U(IV) oxides

Journal Article Bagus, Paul S. ; Nelin, Connie J. ; Ilton, Eugene S. - Journal of Chemical Physics

A rigorous study is presented of the physical processes related to X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS, in the 4f level of U oxides, which, as well as being of physical interest in themselves, are representative of XPS in heavy metal oxides. In particular, we present compelling evidence for a new view of the screening of core-holes that extends prior understandings. Our analysis of the screening focuses on the covalent mixing of high lying U and O orbitals as opposed to the, more common, use of orbitals that are nominally pure U or pure O. It is shown that this covalent mixingmore »« less

Electronic structure of rare-earth chromium antimonides RECrSb{sub 3} (RE=La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Dy, Yb) by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Journal Article Crerar, Shane J. ; Mar, Arthur ; Grosvenor, Andrew P. - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The electronic structure of the ternary rare-earth chromium antimonides RECrSb{sub 3} (RE=La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Dy, Yb) has been examined by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for the first time. The RE 3d or 4d core-line spectra are substantially complicated by the presence of satellite peaks but their general resemblance to those of RE{sub 2}O{sub 3} tends to support the presence of trivalent RE atoms in RECrSb{sub 3}. However, the Yb 4d spectrum of YbCrSb{sub 3} also shows peaks that are characteristic of divalent ytterbium. The Cr 2p core-line spectra exhibit asymmetric lineshapes and little change in binding energy (BE) relative tomore »« less

X-ray photoelectron investigation of uranium compounds

Journal Article Baev, A S ; Teterin, Yu A ; Mashirov, L G ; ... - Sov. Radiochem. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The x-ray photoelectron spectra of 18 compounds of uranium have been studied in the range of binding energies from 0 to 1100 eV. It has been established that the intensity of the line of the U 5f electrons not participating in chemical bonding, the position and intensity of the shake-up satellites of the levels of the deep uranium electrons, the splitting of the levels of the inner valence MO's appearing as a result of the interaction of the U 6p and O 2s AO's, and a number of other parameters of the spectrum of oxygen-containing compounds of uranium depend onmore »« less
