X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and Auger (XAES) spectroscopy study of rhodium dispersed on carbon substrate

Abstract

Photoelectron 3d5/2 binding and Auger M5VV kinetic energies of dispersed rhodium have been measured. For the smallest deposition of Rh the shifts 0·6 eV and -2·5 eV of 3d5/2 and M5VV lines respectively have been found. Electron core level energy, Auger kinetic energy and Fermi edge shifts have been interpreted by a model based on electrostatic relaxation mechanism in metal particles and initial state contribution of surface atoms. Intensity and background height analysis indicate only surface distribution of Rh.
