The same chemical state of carbon gives rise to two peaks in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Abstract Chemical state analysis in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) relies on assigning well-defined binding energy values to core level electrons originating from atoms in particular bonding configurations. Here, we present direct evidence for the violation of this paradigm. It is shown that...
