We present results from an experiment in which silicon oxide nanoparticles (d: ≈ 10 nm) were studied in the gas phase in a particle beam by photoelectron spectroscopy. The particles were produced in situ in a plasma discharge reactor and aerodynamically focused. Pulsed injection into the interaction area allowed us to study nanoparticles with soft x-rays in a size regime in which it has proven notoriously difficult to attain sufficient target densities.
The photo-emission of the nano particles was recorded after excitation near the Si 2p absorption edge using synchrotron radiation. Photon energies between 100 eV and 150 eV were used. The binding energy of Si 2p3/2 was determined to be 110.2 ± 0.2 eV relative to the vacuum level. The binding energy of Si 2p3/2 in bulk SiO2 has been reported to be 103.8 eV relative to the Fermi level [1] which lies 5.1 eV below the vacuum level [2]. The higher binding energy in the nanoparticles will be discussed.
