Popis: Silicon wafers, covered with different thickness layers of polystyrene, were analysed by XPS. High resolution spectra of the C1s shake-up satellite, due to the π-π* transition of the aromatic ring, were compared. A shift in the shake-up binding energy represents a change in the electronic transition energy and so in the energy of the molecular orbital. This made it possible to assess and confirm an interaction between the π electrons of the phenyl ring and the silanol groups present on the surface of the silicon.
