반투명 전도성 음극 (semi-transparent conducting cathode)인 Ba (x nm)/Au (20 nm)/ITO (100 nm)을 이용하여 전면발광 유기전계 발광 소자 (top-emitting organic light-emitting didodes, TEOLEDs)를 제작했다. Ba과 bis(8-quinolinolato)aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) 계면의 전자구조는 엑스선 광전자 분광법 (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS), 자외선 광전자 분광법 (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, UPS) 및 가까운 끝머리 엑스선 흡수 미세구조 (near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure, NEXAFS) 스펙트럼의 광 방출 특성을 통하여 조사되었다. $Alq_3$/Ba 계면 특성에 있어서 XPS와 NEXAFS 특성에 의하면, $Alq_3$ (10.0 nm) 위에 Ba이 연속적으로 증착됨에 따라 Ba으로부터 $Alq_3$로의 전자전달 (electron charge transfer) 특성은 꾸준희 증가된다. 그러나 Ba의 두께가 1.0 nm 이상 초과되면 Ba의 전자전달에 기인한 반응성때문에 $Alq_3$의 분자구조가 해리된다. 한편, 제작된 TEOLEDE의 전류-전압-휘도 곡선의 경우에서도 바륨의 증착 두께가 1.0 nm일 때 가장 우수한 구동특성을 나타냈다.

We investigated chemical states of a $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film with the polycrystalline phase by using high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. The $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film was formed by sputtering. The rhombohedral phase was confirmed by x-ray diffraction. To remove the surface oxide, we performed $Ne^+$ ion sputtering for 1 hour with the beam energy of 1 kV and post-annealing at $100^{\circ}C$ for 5 min in ultra-high vacuum. We obtained the Te and Sb 4d core-levels spectra with the peaks at the binding energies of 40.4 and 33.0 eV, respectively. The full-width of half maximum of both the Te and Sb $4d_{5/2}$ core-levels is 0.9 eV. The Te and Sb core-levels only show a single chemical state, and we also confirmed the stoichiometry of approximately 2 : 3.

X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) is used to characterize the crystallographically cleaved GaAs(110) surface. By using polar and azimuthal scans of the usual angle-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we get the reconstruction geometry of the clean GaAs(110) surface from the intensity ratio of Ga 3d core-level peaks. The reconstruction parameters are determined by fitting the diffraction pattern with the single scattering cluster (SSC) model, and the results show similar tendencies to those obtained by other techniques.

Pd was deposited on magnesium-oxide-covered magnesium ribon substrate by metal thermal evaporation method in high vacuum. The electronic and chemical properties of Pd samples with different coverages were studied using in-situ X-ray Photoelctron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). For relatively lower amounts of Pd deposited(< 1nm), separate Pd particles could be observed, whereas at higher Pd coverages, Pd thin films caused by agglomeration of Pd nanoparticles was found. The metal support interaction with Pd-support was observed. The Pd atoms on the metal oxide/metal interface were partially negative charged by charge transfer.

In natural environments, manganese (Mn) exists in the valence of +2, +3, and +4 and plays a pivotal role as a strong oxidant or reductant in the geochemical cycles of elements. Especially, Mn forms varying (oxyhydr)oxides. The oxidation state of structural Mn is characteristic to each oxide and is one of the most important factors controlling its geochemical behaviors such as solubility, sorption capacity, and redox potential. Therefore, it is important to elucidate processes governing Mn oxidation state in predicting the fate and transport of many redox sensitive elements in the environment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a very useful method to determine the oxidation state of various elements in solid phases. In this study, the oxidation states of structural Mn in MnO, $Mn_2O_3$, $MnO_2$ were assessed based on the binding energy spectra of $Mn2p_{3/2}$ and Mn3s using XPS and were compared with those reported elsewhere. $Mn2p_{3/2}$ binding energies were determined as 640.9, 641.5, 641.8 eV for MnO, $Mn_2O_3$, $MnO_2$, respectively, which indicates that the binding energy increased with increasing Mn oxidation state. It was also noted that Ar etching may cause changes in electronic structure configuration on surface of the original sample.

Oxidation behavior on the surface of Nd-Fe-B ribbon alloy has been studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. In the incipient stage of oxidation on the surface of "as-received" ribbon Nd-oxide film was formed from the fast oxidation of Nd and Fe was metal state in bulk. In process of oxidation time Fe was more abundant in the outmost surface of ribbon from the defused Fe through Nd-oxide film and layer structure of oxidation film was formed.

X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy(RBS) are used for the analysis of additives, examination of chemical structure and determination of identity with qualitative and quantitative analysis of surface elements, binding energy level and depth profiling in the surface. We analyzed surface of polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadien rubber, polypropylene, glass, fiber and paper treated with $XeF_2$ or C-F plasma by XPS and RBS. It was found that fluoro element was penetrated to sample surface and the distribution of surface elements are different than untreated samples.
