XPS study of the electronic density of states in the superconducting Mo2B and Mo2BC compounds

Nuanced superconductivity in endohedral gallide Mo8Ga41

“…The second components corresponding to 3d 3/2 and 3d 5/2 states are localized at binding energy 231.4 eV and 228.2 eV respectively. The obtained experimental results are in close agreement with other core level XPS studies made on Mo based compounds[18]. Further, for the Ga 2p state the core band spectra spilt into two peaks at binding energy 1143.4 eV and 1116.5 eV for 2p 1/2 and 2p 3/2 states respectively.…”

Synthesis and structural analysis of Mo/B periodical multilayer X-ray mirrors for beyond extreme ultraviolet optics

“…Besides peaks of pure Mo, several fewer intensive secondary peaks located at 229.3, 230.36, 232.4, and 233.9 eV were found. The presence of the secondary peaks indicated chemical bonding between Mo and B [22,23,24] The B 1s peak was also deconvoluted to the main peak located at 188.2 eV and several secondary peaks (Figure 4b). The main peak corresponded to pure boron.…”

Effects of the Hubbard U correction on the electronic and magnetic properties of the tetragonal V2P2 sheet

“… 10 Moreover, a series of TM 2 BC in bulk and monolayer forms have been shown to exhibit metallic properties with potential applications for superconducting, ceramic, and high T c ferromagnetic spintronics. 11–14 It should be noted that these reported MnX (X = As, P), Ti 2 BN and Ti 2 BC materials have similar MBene building blocks in 2D and bulk forms. Therefore, it will be interesting to extend the search to other new 2D materials (similar to MBene).…”
