P. Gollion et G. Grenet, QUANTITATIVE XPS AND AFM SURFACE-ANALYSIS - STUDY OF A PATCHED GOLD OVERLAYER ON GRAPHITE, Surface and interface analysis, 23(6), 1995, pp. 404
A patched gold overlayer obtained by thermal evaporation on graphite w
as investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and by atomi
c force microscopy (AFM). The fraction of the substrate area covered b
y gold and the overlayer thickness are deduced from XPS angular measur
ements. These results are compared with topographic data as given by A
FM.
