Characterization of titaniumoxide nanonlayers by soft X-ray emission spectrometry with an efficient wavelength dispersive spectrometer — •Rainer Unterumsberger, Matthias Müller, and Burkhard Beckhoff — Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt
In the present work, the detection and analysis of nanoscaled materials by X-ray Emission Spectrometry (XES) was performed by means of an increased sensitivity of a Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometer (WDS) [1]. The increased sensitivity of the WDS was achieved by an effective focusing of monochromatized soft X-ray undulator radiation down to the micrometer range using a high quality single bounce monocapillary [2]. Due to the increased sensitivity of the WDS, the chemical speciation of different nanoscaled titanium compounds was achieved and the transition probabilities of titanium Ll- and Lα-fluorescence radiation could be determined as a function of the chemical bonding. The measurements were carried out at the plane-grating monochromator (PGM) beamline in the laboratory of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) at BESSY II using monochromatized undulator radiation and calibrated instrumentation [3,4].
