Abstract

Characterization of a samarium thin film deposited on a stainless steel substrate using molecular electrodeposition was carried out using a Thermo Scientific K-Alpha X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. We studied two types of samarium electrodeposition samples, one as-deposited and one heated to 700 °C in an air flow. Survey scans include peaks coming from the stainless steel substrate, such as Fe and Cr. An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) survey spectrum, Sm 3d, C 1s, and O 1s narrow scans are shown. It was determined that the heating process decomposed the deposited Sm acetate to Sm₂O₃ using XPS.

Samarium thin films molecular plated from N,N-dimethylformamide characterized by XPS

Journal Article Myhre, Kristian G. ; Delashmitt, Jordan C. ; Sims, Nathan J. ; ... - Surface Science Spectra

Characterization of samarium thin films molecular plated from N,N-dimethylformamide solutions onto stainless steel substrates, with either mirrorlike or brushed finishes, was carried out using a Thermo Scientific K-Alpha x-ray photoelectron spectrometer. Survey scans of the two specimens showed the presence of samarium, carbon, and oxygen with minor amounts of sodium. High-resolution spectra were then taken of the Sm 3d, O 1s, and C 1s regions. Furthermore, the chemical compositions of the two samples were found to be very similar, with the key difference being the relative amounts of two carbon species. Spectra from the survey and narrow high-resolution scans ofmore »« less

Effects of annealing temperature on morphology and thickness of samarium electrodeposited thin films

Journal Article Sims, Nathan J. ; Stracener, Daniel W. ; Boll, Rose Ann ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Electroplated depositions of Sm were prepared using a vertical well-type electrodeposition unit with an aqueous ammonium acetate electrolyte system, with an average deposition yield just over 87%. The depositions were analyzed for morphology and thickness by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical composition by energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) before and after firing. The depositions were fired at 125–700 °C, while varying the heating rate from 0.5 to 10 °C/min in either an oxidizing or reducing atmosphere. A heating rate of 10 °C/min was slow enough to prevent disruption of the deposition morphology during firing.more »« less

Surface study of stainless steel electrode deposition from soil electrokinetic (EK) treatment using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)

Journal Article Embong, Zaidi ; Research Centre for Soft Soils ; Johar, Saffuwan ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Electrokinetic (EK) remediation relies upon application of a low-intensity direct current through the soil between stainless steel electrodes that are divided into a cathode array and an anode array. This mobilizes charged species, causing ions and water to move toward the electrodes. Metal ions and positively charged organic compounds move toward the cathode. Anions such as chloride, fluoride, nitrate, and negatively charged organic compounds move toward the anode. Here, this remediation techniques lead to a formation of a deposition at the both cathode and anode surface that mainly contributed byanion and cation from the remediated soil.

Effect of the substrate on the electrodeposition of Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3-y}Se{sub y} thin films

Journal Article Luxia, Bu ; Wang Wei ; Hui, Wang - Materials Research Bulletin

The potentiostatic electrodeposition of n-type Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3-y}Se{sub y} thermoelectric films onto stainless steel and gold substrates from nitric acid aqueous solutions has been carried out at room temperature. The cathodic process during the electrodeposition of Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3-y}Se{sub y} films was investigated by cyclic voltammetric experiments. The structure and surface morphology of Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 3-y}Se{sub y} films deposited on both substrates were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and environment scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Electrical and thermoelectric properties of as-deposited films were also measured at room temperature. The results show that the reduction processmore »« less
Electrodeposition of actinide compounds from an aqueous ammonium acetate matrix. Experimental development and optimization

Journal Article Boll, Rose Ann ; Matos, Milan ; Torrico, Matthew N. - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Electrodeposition is a technique that is routinely employed in nuclear research for the preparation of thin solid films of actinide materials which can be used in accelerator beam bombardments, irradiation studies, or as radioactive sources. The present study investigates the deposition of both lanthanides and actinides from an aqueous ammonium acetate electrolyte matrix. Electrodepositions were performed primarily on stainless steel disks; with yield analysis evaluated using -spectroscopy. Experimental parameters were studied and modified in order to optimize the uniformity and adherence of the deposition while maximizing the yield. The initial development utilized samarium as the plating material, with and withoutmore »« less
