“Spectral Lines” lookup table is used to identify the peaks in any insulators or conductors.
Automated “Find & Identify” (Find & ID) for conductors
“Find Peaks” uses the pure element BE Lookup Table derived from the XI Spectral Library of Pure Elements
“Find Peaks” is useful for insulating materials due to charge up effects
“Adjust Find Peaks Parameters” adjusts the # of peaks found
Manual “Find Peaks” is used to find and integrate peaks of insulators
BE Lookup Table can be Used to locate and identify simple chemical state differences
“Spectral Lines” table is used to identify the peaks in any spectrum. Most Auger and Energy Loss signals are included.
The Spectral Lines tables can be modified by the user at any time.Adjust Printer Page Margins

PDF Handbook of Monochromatic XPS Spectra
Volume 1 - The Elements & Native Oxides
Fully Annotated PDF
>650 pages ($35)by B. Vincent Crist, PhD
The survey spectra are fully processed and labelled. The high energy resolution spectra peak-fitted and are not charge referenced.
There are survey spectra, main signal spectra, and valence band spectra. The spectra were produced in 1990 using ultimate high energy resolution settings on an SSI S-Probe XPS instrument.
