Abstract

The photoelectron spectra and electron energy loss spectra in reflection geometry have been measured for the clean (010) surface of Na x V2O5 compounds with x = 0.23, 0.28 and 0.33. The investigations made it possible to reveal some specific features of the electronic structure of such compounds. Ionization parameters of trinitrotoluene molecules have been measured at the surface of polycrystalline Na0.33V2O5 and the (010) surface of the single crystals Na0.28V2O5 and Na0.33V2O5. The results of investigations can be successfully used in a construction of the model of electronic structure of alkaline oxide bronzes and also in the development of materials for selective surface ionization sources of organic nitro-compounds.
