Abstract

The surface core level shift of the 4 f 7 2 level in a Pt2%Au and a Pt15%Au alloy has been investigated using high resolution synchrotron radiation excited photoelectron spectroscopy. The bulk and surface components in the recorded spectra have been extracted using a curve fitting procedure. The chemical shifts and the bulk-to-surface intensity ratios are consistent with a strong enrichments of Au to the alloy surfaces. The chemical shifts on nonsegregated surfaces have been measured on these alloys and on a Pt90%Au alloy using conventional XPS.
