[19a-F214-10] The Influence of Si in Ni on the Band Alignment between Ni and Alumina
Keywords:band alignment, interface bonding, additional element
The influence of a small amount of Si in Ni single crystal on the interface formation between oxide and Ni has been investigated. The interface was formed by in-situ growth of the oxide by simultaneous supply of Al and oxygen onto Ni (111) in a ultrahigh vacuum chamber equipped with XPS apparatus.
