“…This value is similar to that of Sn 4+ in SnO 2 (486.6 eV [46] ) and higher than that of the Sn 2+ site in SnO (485.9 eV [46] ) or Sn metal (484.8 eV, [47] 484.85 eV, [48] 484.87 eV, [49] 484.9 eV, [50] 485.0 eV [51] ). It suggests that tin atoms are positively charged by forming direct bonds with oxygen.…”

Site‐selective tin oxide deposition from aqueous solution was performed on super‐hydrophilic surfaces. The chemical reaction and nucleation accelerated on hydroxy groups to form tin oxide nanosheets. Consequently, two‐dimensional patterns of tin oxide nanosheets were fabricated on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films coated with indium tin oxide (ITO). Tin oxide sheets grew to 100–300 nm in‐plane size and 5–10 nm thickness. Hydrophobic areas of the films suppressed formation of tin oxide structures. The site‐selective chemical reaction can be applied to allow precise control of chemical reactions, surface coating, and two‐dimensional patterning of tin oxide nanostructures for future devices.

“…A comparison of the free atom and metallic spectra show that the multiplet structure is preserved in the metallic state though with an increase in the linewidth of LSJ components. Such an increase is observed in the "quasi atomic" spectra observed from other metals [23,69]. In Cd the component linewidth increases from -0.3 eV in the free atom to ~ 0.8 eV in the metal [68].…”

Abstract. 2014 This review is concerned with the development of Auger spectroscopy as a probe of local electronic structure. The contribution that CCC, CCV and CVV Auger transitions can make to the study of electronic structure is reviewed and the appropriate theoretical context for the interpretation of the spectra produced by each process is discussed. It is shown how Auger spectroscopy can yield insight into on-site electron correlation, charge transfer and electron screening in a variety of systems and can be used to develop potential models that give rise to a new scale of electronegativity. Studies of particular transitions reveal the local electron configuration and the shape of the local density of states in the vicinity of a core-ionised site. Auger profiles are sensitive to the hybridisation between d bands and sp bands and to the localisation of screening charge. The recent development of high performance instruments and of sophisticated theoretical techniques is allowing Auger spectroscopy to reach its full potential as a probe of local electronic structure.

“…The addition of silver was not dramatic but suggests that electronic modification of ruthenium holds the key to improve its performance, namely by promoting product desorption. Filling of the d-band of ruthenium softens both reagent and product adsorption, which should minimize competitive adsorption [32][33][34][35][36]. It is clear from post-reaction XPS analysis that very little amount of silver remains on ruthenium surface but that is sufficient to change the electronics of the metal.…”
