AbstractThe effects of plasma treatments on the physical and chemical characteristics of carbon fiber surface and on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/bismaleimide (BMI) resin composites were investigated. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and wettability measurements were applied for fiber surface characterization. Oxygen plasmas were found to be effective in enhancing the interfacial adhesion between carbon fiber and BMI matrix. Possible mechanisms of interfacial adhesion promotion were suggested and discussed.

AbstractBased on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Gd5Ge4(010) does not show evidence of surface segregation. Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals two types of terraces which alternate laterally on the surface. From the step heights, these two surface terminations are assigned as dense, Gd-pure layers in the bulk structure. There is evidence of reconstruction on one type of terrace.

The Photo-Emission and Atomic Resolution Laboratory (PEARL) is a new soft X-ray beamline and surface science laboratory at the Swiss Light Source. PEARL is dedicated to the structural characterization of local bonding geometry at surfaces and interfaces of novel materials, in particular of molecular adsorbates, nanostructured surfaces, and surfaces of complex materials. The main experimental techniques are soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoelectron diffraction, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Photoelectron diffraction in angle-scanned mode measures bonding angles of atoms near the emitter atom, and thus allows the orientation of small molecules on a substrate to be determined. In energy scanned mode it measures the distance between the emitter and neighboring atoms; for example, between adsorbate and substrate. STM provides complementary, real-space information, and is particularly useful for comparing the sample quality with reference measurements. In this article, the key features and measured performance data of the beamline and the experimental station are presented. As scientific examples, the adsorbate–substrate distance in hexagonal boron nitride on Ni(111), surface quantum well states in a metal-organic network of dicyano-anthracene on Cu(111), and circular dichroism in the photoelectron diffraction of Cu(111) are discussed.
