The Auger, or Auger-Meitner, Process and Auger Peaks
Auger emissions are a secondary electron process
Photoionisation Cross Sections
Photoionisation cross sections influence orbital signal as a function of excitation energy
Peak Asymmetry in Conducting Materials
Conductive materials may present asymmetric photoemission peaks
Multiplet splitting of s-orbitals in first row transition metals
Rare multiplet splitting of S-orbitals may yield additional insights into chemical environments
Multiplet Splitting
Multiplet splitting is a final-state effect largely affecting first row transition metals
Initial vs Final State Effects
Initial State vs Final StateQuick Overview In X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), core-level binding energy shifts are influenced by both initial and final state effects. Initial state [...]
