5p₁/₂ Peak for Quantitative Measurements: The 5p₁/₂ peak is often preferred for quantitative analysis because it corresponds to only one photoelectron state and is well-approximated by a single Lorentzian function The 5p₃/₂ peak, however, is broader and may exhibit site-specific shape variations. The 5p₃/₂ peak is actually a superposition of two peaks corresponding to different magnetic quantum numbers, which can complicate analysis. In some cases the 5p₃/₂ peak can be split, providing additional information about the Xe overlayer, which is important in distinguishing 2D gas and 2D solid phases.(2)
