    XPS investigations of MOCVD tin oxide thin layers on Si nanowires array
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2018) Turishchev, S.Yu.; Chuvenkova, Olga; Parinova, V.E.; Koyuda, D.A.; Chumakov, Ratibor G.; Presselt, Martin; Schleusener, Alexander; Sivakov, Vladimir
    Tin oxide thin layers were grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition technique on the top-down nanostructured silicon nanowires array obtained by metal-assisted wet-chemical technique from single crystalline silicon wafers. The composition of the formed layers were studied by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of tin (Sn 3d) and oxygen (O 1 s) atoms core levels. The ion beam etching was applied to study the layers depth composition profiles. The composition studies of grown tin oxide layers is shown that the surface of layers contains tin dioxide, but the deeper part contains intermediate tin dioxide and metallic tin phases.

    On the possibility of PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy for E. coli advanced studies
    (Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2020) Turishchev, S.Yu.; Marchenko, D.; Sivakov, V.; Belikov, E.A.; Chuvenkova, O.A.; Parinova, E.V.; Koyuda, D.A.; Chumakov, R.G.; Lebedev, A.M.; Kulikova, T.V.; Berezhnoy, A.A.; Valiakhmedova, I.V.; Praslova, N.V.; Preobrazhenskaya, E.V.; Antipov, S.S.
    The novel approach was proposed for detailed high-resolution studies of morphology and physico-chemical properties concomitantly at one measurement spot of E. coli bacterial cells culture immobilized onto silicon wafer surface in UHV conditions applying PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy under Hg lamp irradiation. For the E. coli characterization scanning electron microscopy (electron beam) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (X-ray tube radiation) were applied prior to PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy measurements. In spite of irradiation doses collected for the cell arrays we were successful in detection of high-resolution images even of single E. coli bacterium by PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy technique followed by detailed high-resolution morphology studies by scanning electron microscopy. These results revealed widespread stability of the E. coli membranes shape after the significant number of applied characterization techniques. © 2019 The Authors
