Electron energy loss spectroscopy study of nickel, chromium and a nickel–chromium alloy

Next-nearest neighbour contributions to P 2p3/2 X-ray photoelectron binding energy shifts of mixed transition-metal phosphides M1−xM′xP with the MnP-type structure

“…Plasmon loss can be described as the loss of kinetic energy of the photoelectron (increase in BE) arising from an oscillation of bound valence electrons [49]. This assignment has been corroborated by identifying the occurrence of the same phenomenon in most of the firstrow transition metals (Sc-Ni) [50][51][52][53][54]. Note that no such plasmon loss peak is observed in the Mn or V 2p 3/2 spectra, likely because it is overlapped by the significantly more intense core-line.…”

Effect of hydrothermal treatment on properties of Ni–Al layered double hydroxides and related mixed oxides

“…According to the published data determined by examination of oxides, hydroxides and oxohydroxides [34], the binding energies of Ni 2p 3/2 for oxidation state Ni 0 , Ni 2+ , and Ni 3+ are equal to 852.8, 854.6 and 856.1 eV, respectively. Electron structure and theoretical models of pure Ni and NiO are discussed in [34][35][36]. Interpretation of the Ni 2p spectra of oxides and other compounds is based on the transfer of charge of both the main peak at 854.6 eV and the wide satellite with binding energy of 861 eV corresponding to cd 9 L (c ¼ vacancy in a nucleus, L ¼ ligand vacancy) and naked cd 8 configurations.…”

“…37 It should be noted that plasmon loss has also been observed to occur in Ni, Cr, and Fe. [47][48][49] The Ni and Cr analysis was carried out using EELS, 47,48 whereas plasmon loss in Fe was observed by analysis of the 1s XPS core line using a high energy Cu K x-ray source. 49 The Fe 2p 3/2 peaks for RFe 4 Sb 12 presented in Figs.…”
