Hafnium dioxide (hfo2) is a material often used as a high-k dielectric for semiconductor gating applications. the hf 4f photoelectron peak in the xps spectrum of an ultrathin film of hfo2 obtained with an al ka source (a=0.83401 nm) and a spectrometer with a work function of 25.34 ev is measured at a binding energy of 17.56 ev. (h = 6.62607 x 10-34 j·s; c = 2.99792 x 108 m/s; 1 j = 6.2415 x 1018 ev) a) what is the energy, in units of j, of the al ka source? b) what is the kinetic energy, in units of ev, of the measured electron? what is the binding energy telling us? c) if the same sample was analyzed on an xps of identical work function, but with a mg ka source (a=0.98900 nm), what binding energy would be the measured for the same photoelectron? what will be the kinetic energy?

a) The kinetic energy of the photon source in units of J is 2.3818 X 10∧-16 J

b) The kinetic energy of the measured electron in eV is 1444.1 eV

The binding energy is telling us that the photon energy is so high there is very high emission of electrons from the hafnium Oxide

c) The Binding energy will be 17.56 eV

The Kinetic energy of the ejected electron from the metal is 1211.1 eV

Explanation:

The explanations and breakdown is attached

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
