XPS studies of adhesion at organosilane/aluminum interfaces

The work in this thesis deals with silane to aluminum adhesion. Angular dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ADXPS) with the bias potential technique is used for the first time to probe silane/aluminum interfaces, the investigation aims to find evidence of direct chemical bonding between t...
