Work function measurements of vanadium doped diamond-like carbon films by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy

Vanadium doped diamond-like carbon films prepared by unbalanced magnetron sputtering have been investigated by X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements for the purpose of revealing electronic structures including values of work function on the surfaces. In addition to these photoelectron measurements, X-ray diffraction measurements have been performed to characterize the crystal structures.

Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (RIXS) in SrCuO$_{2}$

The resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) was measured in an insulating SrCuO$_{2}$ with changing the incident photon energy ($hν$) near the Cu $1s$ absorption edge (K-edge). Complex structures and their dependences on the momentum transfer($Δk$) and $hν$ were observed. The $hν$ dependence of the RIXS spectra measured for a constant $Δk$=2.4$π$ has shown a remarkable enhancement near the absorption maximum and a shift of the spectral weight toward larger loss-energy with increasing $hν$. Also, the energy of the inelastic loss peak in the RIXS spectra for the fixed excitation at 8.993 keV, 10 eV below the absorption maximum, has shown a clear dependence on $Δk$. These results are in a qualitative agreement with a theoretical prediction. Full utilization of the potential of the high brilliance X ray light source at BL19LXU of SPring-8 with 27 m long insertion device will open up a breakthrough in RIXS for heavy transition metal compounds in accordance with the improvement in focussing and analyzing elements.
