Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A sample holder was fabricated for photoelectron spectroscopy of a liquid metal surface. We selected GaIn as a liquid metal sample, because it is harmless and has low vapor pressure, First, XPS measurement of the as-installed GaIn sample was carried out. As a result, we found that the surface was covered with Ga oxide over several layers. Next, in order to clean the liquid metal surface, cooling with liquid nitrogen was carried out to solidify GaIn, and Ar ion sputtering was performed. The Ga oxide in the surface region almost disappeared and the XPS spectra indicated the liquid GaIn clean surface. Oxygen molecules were introduced at room temperature on the liquid GaIn clean surface and XPS measurement was carried out. After exposure up to 1111 L (Langmuir), we found that oxidation of Ga progresses as a function of coverage.
