Figure 4
Calculated reflection-mode X-ray absorption near-edge spectra for a layer of 3.5 nm crystalline Cu2O on a copper metal substrate [as shown schematically in the inset of Fig. 3(a)] and a grazing angle Θ = 0.2° and various different r.m.s. roughness values for the Cu2O/air surface (σ1) and the inner Cu2O/Cu interface (σ2) as indicated. For comparison, a spectrum of a smooth (σ = 0 Å) oxide-free Cu metal sample is shown in (b); this spectrum is shifted downwards by 0.05 for a better visualization. |
