Rg. Agostino et al., A CHEMICAL-STATE RESOLVED X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON DIFFRACTION STUDY - INITIAL-STAGES IN DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON-FILM DEPOSITION, Journal of applied physics, 80(4), 1996, pp. 2181-2186
The structural sensitivity of x-ray photoelectron diffraction is great
ly enhanced by the acquisition of a full hemispherical diffraction pat
tern of chemically shifted core levels. Complex systems can be studied
resolving the local order per element and per chemical environment. T
his technique is applied to study the earliest stages of hydrogenated
diamondlike carbon film deposition on Si(001). Effects of the sample t
emperature and ion dose on the structure of deposited layers are discu
ssed. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
