The electron induced effect on the first stages of the titanium (Ti0) oxidation and titanium dioxide (Ti4+) chemical reduction processes has been studied by means of Auger electron spectrescopy. Using factor analysis we ...

The effect of (1-4 keV) energetic He+ ion irradiation over clean pyrite substrates was studied by means of a multitechnique approach, including scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), ...

We report measurements of secondary electron emission (SEE) induced by electron and ion bombardment on porous silicon (PS). We found that electron induced emission is strongly reduced by ion bombardment, and that this ...

Tagetes erecta L callus cells ("porte bajo” material) were used as a plant model in order to delivery lcy-β gene (from carotenoids route) by means of biobalistic transformation. The aim was to evaluate the probable ...

We present measurements of secondary electron emission from Cu induced by low energy bombardment (1–5 keV) of noble gas (He+, Ne+ and Ar+) and Li+ ions. We identify different potential and kinetic mechanisms and find the ...

We have formed and characterized polycrystalline diamond films with surfaces having hydrogen terminations, oxygen terminations, or fluorine terminations, using a small, simple and novel plasma gun to bombard the diamond ...

In recent decades, many studies reported magnetism in carbon-based materials. This phenomenon was attributed to structural defects within the sample. Many authors showed an increase of magnetization in HOPG (Highly Oriented ...

Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectrometry (REELS) were used to characterize the growth and thermal stability of C60 films deposited on Cu(111). ...
