(Color online) Ce 3d XPS spectra from ceria nanoparticles deposited on a Si substrate. Based on optical data, we would expect the ceria to be mostly Ce+3. The deposition process produced regions of high (a) and low (b) particle density. The XPS photoelectron spectrum from the higher density of particles differed (some Ce+4) from the lower density region (only Ce+3).
