“…The peak at 402-403 eV was found in the spectra of the three specimens exposed to the CTAB solution, but was absent in the spectrum of the one removed before CTAB addition. This peak may be assigned to the N 1s energy of adsorbed CTAB, since it is close to the value of 402 eV reported for CTAB adsorbed on silver bromide [32] and quarts [33]. A second nitrogen peak (397-398 eV) appeared for the 19 and 96 h specimens.…”

“…The N1s peak is now at 402.8 eV. This value is slightly higher that for pure CTAB (402 eV), indicative of the interaction between CTAB and the nanoparticles surface [50,51]. As shown in Fig.…”
“…The elemental nature of surface can be characterized by Xray photoelectron spectroscopy [310][311][312] and augur spectroscopy [313], and its chemical state can be viewed through valence level photoemission spectra and molecular vibrational spectra. Similarly vibrational spectroscopy can be used to study local ordering while diffraction method can be used to study long range ordering.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
