    Abstract:
    ダイヤモンドライクカーボン(DLC)は,sp2炭素・sp3炭素・水素からなるアモルファス炭素同素体である.本報では,著者らがこれまで行ってきたX線光電子分光法(XPS)によるDLC薄膜の表面化学構造解析について解説する.DLC薄膜のC 1sスペクトルは,Gauss関数を重畳したDoniach-Šunjic関数によって解析され,sp2/sp3炭素ならびに炭素‐炭素/炭素‐水素結合の差異を説明する4成分に波形分離された.本解析は,高分解弾性反跳検出(ERD)法による実水素量分布に対応した.他方,DLC表面の酸素官能基分析のための,簡単な数学的処理を加味した修正気相化学誘導体化(GCD)法も解説する.本法は解析を複雑にする副反応を考慮しており,DLC表面の酸化プロセスをよく説明することができた.以上の議論より,XPSはDLC表面の包括的な分析ツールになり得ると結論する.

    X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS and UPS) were used to characterize as-deposited ScN(001) layers grown in situ. The films were deposited by ultrahigh vacuum reactive magnetron sputtering on MgO(001) at 800 °C in pure N2 discharges maintained at a pressure of 5 mTorr (0.67 Pa). Mg Kα and monochromatic Al Kα x-ray sources were used to obtain the XPS spectra, while the UPS data were generated by He I and He II UV radiation. The spectra show that the ScN(001) surfaces are free of O and C. The films were found to have a slight excess of nitrogen, in agreement with Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) results, yielding a N/Sc ratio of 1.11 ± 0.03.

    The feasibility of utilizing X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( XPS ) to analyze room‐temperature ionic liquids ( RTILs ) was investigated in this study. Conventionally, the chemical structure of organic compounds is identified by nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) spectroscopy. The properties of RTILs , especially their low vapor pressure, make it possible to analyze RTILs by using XPS . The usefulness of XPS on RTILs was confirmed by commercial RTILs . All atoms in RTILs were detected in survey XPS spectra, and the calculated atomic percentages matched well with theoretical values. After the verification of commercial RTILs by XPS , we synthesized three RTILs and investigated them with XPS . The atomic ratio and chemical environment of carbon in RTILs were verified by XPS . By adapting XPS to the investigation of RTILs , carbon atoms in different chemical environments were distinguishable by the binding energy shift, and the atomic ratio of the constituent atoms was identifiable after peak deconvolution. In addition, inorganic constituents were detected by XPS unlike in the case of NMR spectroscopy.
