Abstract
The surface color of the Ibushi-Kawara in Sanshu region is silver. In order to investigate the coloring factor, we carried out X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), raman spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). As a result, oxygen was slightly detected in the carbon film by the XPS analysis. The result of XAS analysis suggested that the π binding orbit have an orientation in the carbon film.
