摘要
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was applied to study the hydroxylation of alpha-Al2O3 (0001) surfaces and the stability of surface OH groups. The evolution of interfacial chemistry of the alpha-Al2O3 (0001) surfaces and metal/alpha-Al2O3 (0001) interfaces are well illustrate via modifications of the surface Ols spectra. Clean hydroxylated surfaces are obtained through water- and oxygen plasma treatment at room temperature. The surface OH groups of the hydroxylated surface are very sensitive to electron beam illumination, Ar+ sputtering, UHV heating, and adsorption of reactive metals. The transformation of a hydroxylated surface to an Al-terminated surface occurs by high temperature annealing or Al deposition. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
