Abstract

Nickel metal with an unoxidized and an electrochemically oxidized surface can be transferred considerable distances between vacuum systems, without significant surface change, in an anaerobic cell for study by various surface science methods (XPS, Auger, ISS, and SIMS). The SIMS and ISS spectra are very sensitive to hydrocarbon contamination, which can be nearly eliminated by using the transfer cell. Complementary information is obtained using these surface analytical methods. Electrochemically oxidized nickel metal samples show the presence of oxide and hydroxide species. The results are compared with spectral data for a number of nickel compounds.
