    Notes: Two cases of water interaction with virgin PET and with metallized (Al) PET were studied using thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) and dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), respectively. On the one hand, the TDS approach tends to show that the water is weakly bound to the polyester (∼ 10 kcal mol-1); on the other hand, the SIMS study performed on metallized PET shows an enhancement of the water concentration around the interface. These results are discussed in order to elucidate the presence of such moisture and its influence on the metal/polymer adhesion and corrosion.

    Notes: We have studied by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) the room temperature growth of aluminium nitride (AlN) at the surface of clean and oxidized polycrystalline iron. The films were deposited by reactive rf-sputtering in an N2-Ar atmosphere. Very low coverages were possible thanks to a precise partial pressure controller based on electron impact emission spectroscopy (EIES).The AlN/Fe interface study has revealed the formation of an iron nitride at the surface of the substrate and of a compound close to AlN as a first monolayer. AlN clusters grow directly on this nitride layer and we did not detect the formation of any alloy between iron and aluminium. A modelization of the AES signal intensities suggests a Stranski-Krastanov growth mode.For the oxidized iron, Auger lines showed an Fe2O3 surface layer on an Fe3O4 film oxide. The former oxide was reduced to Fe3O4 by the incoming aluminium which forms a two-phase film made of Al2O3 and AlN resulting in an (AlN)x(Al2O3)1-x stoichiometry. The concentration of this oxide phase decreases after the diffusion of the oxygen stops. Pure AlN begins to grow on this two-phase film.

    Notes: The interaction of copper with the surface of polyphenylquinoxaline is investigated with high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. The metal deposition is found to affect several features, in particular the elastic peak and the CH vibrational modes associated with the aromatic groups. Diffusion of copper to the bulk is observed upon thermal treatment.

    Notes: The electronic structure of a clean copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene is investigated by measuring the ESCA spectra of the core and valence levels. The chemical composition and alternating (〉95%) structure of the copolymer, characterized separately by classical methods, is verified by analyzing the C 1s core-level spectrum. The comparison of the experimental valence band with an original EHCO band-structure calculation, and with similar data for a model of polymer with block structure, shows that the combined methods allow us to distinguish between the two compounds through their valence-band spectra.

    Notes: We have studied the formation of the Cu/MgO interface with Auger electron spectroscopy and high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS). Copper overlayers ranging in thickness from 1 to 20 Å were formed on an MgO single- crystal substrate by evaporation from a Knudsen effusion cell. Direct Auger spectra for the O KLL, Cu LMM and Mg KLL lines were collected. The evolution of the Auger peak intensities shows that the copper initially forms a complete monolayer, followed by island formation (i.e. Stransky-Krastanov growth). Low energy electron diffraction patterns recorded after Cu deposition confirmed the ordering of the first monolayer.A significant decrease in energy of the surface MgO phonon peak was observed by HREELS following deposition of 20 Å of copper. Simultaneously with this shift of the phonon energy, we observed a decrease of the intensity ratio of the phonon-loss and elastic peaks. These results have been interpreted using the dielectric theory. Theoretical spectra of MgO covered by a layer of Cu2O obtained by using dielectric constants taken from the literature were able to reproduce qualitatively the decreases in energy and intensity of the phonon-loss peak with increasing copper thickness.

    Notes: High-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) is now widely known and recognized for its very significant contributions to the characterization of molecules adsorbed on well-defined surfaces: many chemical surface reactions were understood successfully (adsorption sites, reaction scheme, time-resolved experiments) through the analysis of electron-induced vibrational spectra. Semiconductors and insulators form other classes of materials that contribute to vibrational spectra by intrinsic vibrations: compound semiconductors, and insulators present acoustic and optical phonons, i.e. collective lattice vibrations, whereas organic insulators (like polymers) offer numerous molecular groups to the vibrational excitation by the electron beam (extrinsic vibrations). Quantitative analysis of the surface of those materials rests on the understanding of the interaction mechanisms between monochromatized electrons and intrinsic or extrinsic vibrations.Three scattering processes have been recognized to contribute to HREEL spectra: dipole interaction, impact scattering and resonance scattering. They have been characterized theoretically and experimentally through their dependence versus variation of the electron beam energy and/or of the scattering angular geometry.Recent experiments have shown that the analysis of intrinsic phonons is very well understood for insulators. As a consequence, quantitative analysis of compound semiconductors is possible and brings additional information on the surface stoichiometry (of AlxGa1-xAs, for example) and on the doping level. For organic polymers, however, the excitation of molecular vibrations does not - up to now - appear to follow a simple scheme: all the scattering mechanisms (dipolar, impact and resonance) appear to play a significant role; a true quantification will be possible only through a systematic study of model compounds, and will require further theoretical treatments.
