XPS insights: Asymmetric peak shapes in XPS
The misinterpretation of peak asymmetry as higher oxidation states in x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is regretfully all too common. This XPS Insight note introduces the theory of peak asymmetry in x‐ray photoelectron spectra and such asymmetry is discussed for a range of different ...

Influence of the preparation conditions on the synthesis, structure and thermal properties of LaSrCo1-xMnxO4 [PDF]
A series of LaSrCo1-xMnxO4 (x=0.1, 0.3, 0.5) mixed oxides with a perovskite-type structure were successfully synthesized at fairly low temperatures in air by the decompositon of amorphous citric and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid complexes.
