Basic reaction steps in the sulfidation of crystalline MoO3 to MoS2, as studied by X-ray photoelectron and infrared emission spectroscopy.

Spin coating is introduced as a simplified method to prepare model surfaces of cellulose. Prior to spin coating, trimethylsilyl cellulose (TMSC), a nonpolar derivative of cellulose, is synthesized in order to dissolve the otherwise immiscible cellulose. After the spin coating deposition of TMSC on an untreated silicon or gold substrate, the TMSC layer is subjected to vapor phase acid hydrolysis, which regenerates it back to cellulose. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) revealed the films' chemical structure to be similar to pure cellulose. Spin coating parameters such as spinning speed, concentration of the coating solution, and nature of the solvent were varied to obtain diversity in morphology and thickness of the films. The optimal spin coating parameters resulted in a cellulose film with 20 nm thickness and 10% roughness, determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Preliminary experiments with modifying the chemistry and varying the water content of the films were also conducted.

Simulated thermal desorption spectra have been used to test the performance of ten commonly applied analysis procedures for obtaining the correct activation energy, pre-exponential factor and order of desorption, as a function of adsorbate coverage. In general, simplified procedures based on easily accessible features such as peak maximum temperature, peak width and peak shape, yield unreliable results. The so-called complete methods, however, require considerably more effort, but yield results which are in good agreement with the values used as input for the simulated spectra.
