Characterization of the patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome by combination of hemolytic assay and gene analysis in Japan

We prepared Cu/Al and Al/SiO2/Si samples by sputtering Cu on Al metals and Al on SiO2/Si, respectively. We investigated the interfaces between Cu film and Al metal, or between Al film and SiO2/Si by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). From the results, we found that Cu metals were oxidized in the Cu/Al samples and changed to Cu+ and Cu2+. In addition, the thickness of Cu metal in Cu/Al and Al metal in Al/SiO2/Si are thought to be less than...
