The adsorption and surface reactions of NO on a VO/V(110) surface have been investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure, and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) technique. NO is molecularly adsorbed on VO/V(110) at 80 K. As the surface coverage of NO increases, the NO dimer is formed on the surface at 80 K. Both NO and (NO)2 are adsorbed on the surface with the N-O bond perpendicular to the surface. (NO)2 decomposes at ~100 K and the reaction product is desorbed as N2O. Decomposition of NO takes place when the surface temperature is higher than 273 K.

The adsorption and surface reactions of $SO_2$ on Ni(100), c($2{\times}2$)_O/Ni (100) and NiO(111)/Ni(100) surfaces have been investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) technique. On Ni(100), chemisorbed $SO_2$ is formed at 160 K. When $SO_2$ is adsorbed on c($2{\times}2$)_O/Ni(100) at 160 K, $SO_2$ reacts with oxygen to form $SO_3$ and trace amount of $SO_4$ species. $SO_3$ is adsorbed on this surface with its $C_3$ axis perpendicular to the surface. On a NiO(111)/Ni(100) surface, both $SO_3$ and $SO_4$ species are formed at 160 K from adsorbed $SO_2$.

The interaction of oxygen with a Ni(100) surface has been investigated using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) technique. Below 200L oxygen exposure, molecular oxygen was dissociated to atomic oxygen. Increasing oxygen exposure, -1s binding energy shifted from 531.0 eV to 533.0 eV due to molecular adsorption. The presence of molecular oxygen species was confirmed by NEXAFS. Molecular oxygen adsorbed on Ni(100) was oriented perpendicular to the surface. Upon heating over 150K molecular adsorbed oxygen surface was also analyzed using NEEXFS.

We have investigated adsorption of selenophene on Si(100) at room temperature using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES) and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) in the partial electron yield (PEY) mode. The Si 2p, C 1s, Se 3d spectra of selenophene on Si(100) show that selenophene is nondissociatively chemisorbed on Si(100)-$2{\times}1$ through [2+2] cycloaddition. NEXAFS has been conducted to characterize the adsorption geometry of selenophene on Si(100). Since the $\pi^*$ orbital of C=C bond show good angular dependence in carbon K-edge NEXAFS spectra, the angle $53{\pm}5^{\circ}$ determined from NEXAFS spectra. This majority structure is consistent with the [2+2] cycloaddition of selenophene to the dimer of the Si(100)-$2{\times}1$ surface.

The ring formation and electronic properties of furan adsorbed on graphene layers grown on 6H-SiC(0001) has been investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM), near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra for the C K-edge, and high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES). Moreover, we observed that furan molecules adsorbed on graphene could be used for chemical functionalization via the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen group, allowing chemical doping. We also found that furan spontaneously formed rings with one of three different bonding configurations and the electronic properties of the ring formed by furan on graphene can be described using by AFM, NEXAFS and HRPES, respectively.

Silver doped ZnO (SZO) films were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering on glass substrates with extraordinary designed ZnO target. With the doping source for target, use AgNO$_3$ powder on a various rate (0, 2, and 4 wt.%). We investigated dependence of coating parameter such as dopant content in target and substrate temperature in the SZO films. The SZO films have a preferred orientation in the (002) direction. As amounts of the Ag dopant in the target were increased, the crystallinity and the transmittance and optical band gap were decreased. And the substrate temperature were increased, the crystallinity and the transmittance were increased. But the crystallinity and the transmittance of SZO films were retrograde at 200$^{\circ}C$. Upside facts were related with composition. In addition, the Oxygen K-edge features of the SZO films were investigated by using near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. Changes of optical band gap of the SZO films were explained compared with XRD, XPS and NEXAFS spectra.

Bacterial biofilms are spatially structured communities that contain bacterial cells with a wide range of physiological states. The spatial distribution and speciation of copper in unsaturated Pseudomonas putida CZ1 biofilms that accumulated 147.0 mg copper per g dry weight were determined by transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and micro-X-ray fluorescence microscopy coupled with micro-X-ray absorption near edge structure (micro-XANES) analysis. It was found that copper was mainly precipitated in a $75{\mu}m$ thick layer as copper phosphate in the middle of the biofilm, while there were two living cell layers in the air-biofilm and biofilm-medium interfaces, respectively, distinguished from the copper precipitation layer by two interfaces. The X-ray absorption fine structure analysis of biofilm revealed that species resembling $Cu_3(PO_4)_2$ predominated in biofilm, followed by Cu-Citrate- and Cu-Glutathione-like species. Further analysis by micro-XANES revealed that 94.4% of copper were $Cu_3(PO_4)_2$-like species in the layer next to the air interface, whereas the copper species of the layer next to the medium interface were composed by 75.4% $Cu_3(PO_4)_2$, 10.9% Cu-Citrate-like species, and 11.2% Cu-Glutathione-like species. Thereby, it was suggested that copper was initially acquired by cells in the biofilm-air interface as a citrate complex, and then transported out and bound by out membranes of cells, released from the copper-bound membranes, and finally precipitated with phosphate in the extracellular matrix of the biofilm. These results revealed a clear spatial pattern of copper precipitation in unsaturated biofilm, which was responsible for the high copper tolerance and accumulation of the biofilm.

The Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) technique and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were utilized to investigate the reaction of CH4 and O2 on the MoO3/SiO2 catalyst. The NEXAFS results showed that the stoichiometry of the molybdenum oxide catalyst supported on silica was MoO3. MoO3 was reduced to MoO2 when the catalyst was exposed to CH4 at 773 K. NEXAFS results confirm that lattice oxygen is directly related to the process of CH4 oxidation which takes place on the surface of MoO3/SiO2 catalysts. DSC results show that the structure of MoO3 changes around 573 K and this structural change seems to improve the migration of oxygen in the lattice.

The interface between SiNx and ZnO was investigated with Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) for ZnO based thin film transistor (TFT) applications. Impurity species were interstitial $N_2$ molecules at the SiNx / ZnO interface. The evolution of $N_2$ is decreased with increasing of anneal temperature.

We have studied the bonding structures of five membered aromatic ring heterocyclic molecules, such as furan, thiophene, and selenophene, adsorbed on the Si(100) surface at room temperature with density functional theory. Additionally, we have investigated the evolution upon annealing of thiophene and selenophene molecules on the Si(100) surface by the core-level photoemission spectroscopy and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). The core-level-spectra measured at different temperatures are consistently interpreted in terms of various adsorption structures suggested by theoretical calculations. In this study, we found the most suitable structures by theoretical and experimental results considering room temperature and mild thermal annealing.
