X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) Reference Pages

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS or ESCA) curve fitting procedures, reference materials and useful notes are listed here to provide a starting point for the consistent interpretation of XPS spectra. These reference pages contain tips and techniques that are designed to help both the novice and advanced XPS user.

EAL - Electron Effective Attenuation Length

Link to User's Guide for the NIST Electron Effective-Attenuation-Length Database

Link to Download NIST Electron-Attenuation-Length Database

Data needed for will include:
1) Inelastic mean free path data (density, number of valence electrons, band gap)
2) Asymmetry parameter (beta)
Labels: EAL, Electron Effective Attenuation Length
