Intrinsic and Extrinsic Losses Intrinsic and Extrinsic Losses (Satellites, Peaks) Intrinsic Peaks Shake-up peaks Multiplet splitting peaks Extrinsic Background (loss) Extrinsic background is defined as the intensity that has been lost from the generated photoelectron signal, to produce the background at lower KE. Extrinsic background is produced by inelastic electron scattering as […]
