    • Charging/discharging of Au (core)/silica (shell) nanoparticles as revealed by XPS 

      Tunc, I.; Demirok, U. K.; Süzer, Şefik; Correa-Duatre, M. A.; Liz-Marzan, L. M. (American Chemical Society, 2005)
      By recording XPS spectra while applying external voltage stress to the sample rod, we can control the extent of charging developed on core-shell-type gold nanoparticles deposited on a copper substrate, in both steady-state ...
    • Electrical circuit modeling of surface structures for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements 

      Tasci, T. O.; Atalar, Ergin; Demirok, U. K.; Süzer, Şefik (Elsevier BV * North-Holland, 2008)
      We model the X-ray photoelectron spectrometer and the sample with lumped electrical circuit elements, and simulate various types of conditions using a widely used computer program (PSpice) and compare the results with ...
    • Enhanced peak separation in XPS with external biasing 

      Ertas, G.; Demirok, U. K.; Süzer, Şefik (Elsevier, 2005-08-15)
      We have demonstrated that the An 4f peaks of the capped gold nanoparticles deposited on a SiO2 (20 nm)/Si substrate can be separated form the An 4f peaks of a gold metal strip, in contact with the same sample, by application ...
    • Time-resolved XPS analysis of the SiO2/Si system in the millisecond range 

      Demirok, U. K.; Ertas, G.; Süzer, Şefik (2004)
      By applying voltage pulses to the sample rod while recording the spectrum, we show, for the first time, that it is possible to obtain a time-resolved XPS spectrum in the millisecond range. The Si 2p spectrum of a silicon ...
    • X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of Si nanoclusters in SiO 2 matrix 

      Dane, A.; Demirok, U. K.; Aydınlı, Atilla; Süzer, Şefik (American Chemical Society, 2006)
      We investigated silicon nanoclusters Si(nc) in a SiO2 matrix prepared by the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with external voltage stimuli in both static ...
    • X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for resistance-capacitance measurements of surface structures 

      Ertas, G.; Demirok, U. K.; Atalar, Abdullah; Süzer, Şefik (AIP Publishing, 2005-04-29)
      In x-ray photoemission measurements, differential charging causes the measured binding energy difference between the Si 2p of the oxide and the silicon substrate to vary nonlinearly as a function of the applied external ...
    • XPS analysis with pulsed voltage stimuli 

      Karabudak, E.; Demirok, U. K.; Süzer, Şefik (2006)
      We record XPS spectra while applying 0 to +10 V or 0 to -10 V square pulses to the sample rod, which normally results in twinning of all peaks at correspondingly increased (for +10 V) or decreased (for -10 V) binding ...
