Protocol for spectra analysis

Spectra files. After the spectra of a series of samples have been carried out, the corresponding files should be identified. It is necessary to ask to the person in charge whom the samples were given to.

Software. The spectra files have VAMAS format. These files should be first treated using the programme XDTR, then analysed with the programme XPS Peak. A simplified protocol for the use of these programmes is described in the document Instrucciones.

Files, Instructions, and Software

Instrucciones	In this document (available in Word and Acrobat format), a simplified protocol for the analysis of the XP Spectra by using XDTR and XPS Peak programmes is described. Only in Spanish
XDTR programme	This MS-DOS programme allows the transformation of the files with VAMAS format in X-Y text files, whereas Kinetic Energy (KE) is converted in Binding Energy (BE), and the sample charge effect is corrected. Input text in Spanish
XDTR.DOC	This document describes thoroughly the functions, options and characteristics of the XDTR programme. It also describes the origin, structure and treatment of spectra files previous to October 2000. If all you need is a simplified description, you better make use of the document Instrucciones. Only in Spanish
XPS Peak 4.0 XPS Peak 4.1	Programme XPS Peak V 4.0, developed by Raymund W. M. Kwok, from the Department of Chemistry, Chinese University of Hong Kong (Freeware). This programme allows the calculation of baselines and the fitting of XP Spectra to Gaussian-Lorentzian curves.
Oberon	MS Excel 97 spreadsheet that provided every XPS and Auger possible line for a specific sample, with the elemental atomic composition as input. "Enable Macros" option should be chosen when you open the file. This is a trial version, and the user suggestions are welcome. Input text in Spanish

Have you tried our IMPROVED spreadsheet Oberon? We invite you to do it. It is a trial version and it is open to suggestions.
