Surface analysis system and surface Raman spectroscopy. Final technical report, 1 November 1986-31 December 1987
A multipurpose surface-analysis chamber equipped with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ion-scattering spectroscopy, secondary-ion mass spectrometry and Auger electron spectroscopy was constructed and installed. The Leybold LHS-12 system, which was partially funded from this grant, comprises both high-pressure and ultrahigh-vacuum sample preparation and reaction chambers, thermal-evaporation and radiofrequency-sputtering sources and a rapid entry load lock. This system is fully operational, meeting all specifications, and is being used in a wide variety of surface-science and other applications. These include the XPS study of the decomposition of alkyl halides in support of the surface Raman spectroscopy efforts, and XPS study of the x-ray-induced degradation of thin polymer films and a study of the role of peroxide ions in the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.
