摘要:
Low energy ion scattering is used to selectively probe the outermost atomic layer of the surface. The development of double toroidal analyzers has improved the detection sensitivity of low energy ion scattering by orders of magnitude. The features of these analyzers are discussed. It is shown that the absence of matrix effects makes it possible to quantify the surface density of fluorine in polymers with a LiF(1 0 0) surface. The extreme surface sensitivity of LEIS also enables one to study intramolecular segregation processes. As an example the aging of a polypropylene surface that has been activated with atomic oxygen is described. As an example of the LEIS analysis of highly dispersed isolating surfaces, the formation of coke on a commercial three-way catalyst is discussed. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
