ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS ISO 19830:2015ISO 19830:2015(E)IntroductionX-ray photoelectron spectra produced from the surfaces of many materials are complex and frequently consist of overlapping or unresolved peaks. The lack of resolution can be due to instrumental parameters, the X-
21、ray line width, the natural line width of the transition, or a contribution from all of these. It is frequently necessary, therefore, to use a mathematical procedure to fit some or all of the peaks in XPS spectra in order to establish the position and intensity of each of the component peaks contain
22、ed within each peak envelope. This is often the first step in the identification of the chemical states which give rise to the overall peak envelope and the quantification of each chemical state present. The analyst must therefore have confidence in both the position (to establish the chemical state
23、) and the peak area (to allow accurate quantification) of each peak reported following peak fitting.The mathematical procedure applies model peak and background shapes, the defining parameters of which are varied in order to obtain the optimum fit to the experimental data. Most commonly, the model p
24、eak shapes are some combination of Gaussian and Lorentzian functions.Many of the parameters that should be reported following peak fitting are those that define these curves. Other factors are those which are selected by the analyst to ensure that the peak-fitting process results in a chemically mea
25、ningful description of the peak envelope or to minimize the time taken for the fitting process. These include parameters that the analyst chooses to fix at a constant value during the fitting process, defines as a range of values over which the parameter can vary during the fitting process, and math
26、ematically links the value of a parameter to that of another parameterPeak fitting is a purely mathematical process from which quantitative and qualitative results are obtained which may be related to the chemistry of the surface being analysed. The results will depend upon the analysts choice of pa
27、rameters and constraints and this choice will influence the interpretive conclusions that the analyst reaches from the peak-fitting results. For that reason, it is important that these parameters and constraints are reported. This will allow another analyst to assess the reliability and validity of
28、the conclusions drawn from the peak fitting exercise, repeat the peak-fitting process on the same data set and obtain the same results, and repeat the peak-fitting process on data which has been obtained from a similar sample and be in a position to make a valid comparison of the data sets.Most soft
29、ware packages which have been designed for use with XPS data contain a peak-fitting routine. These routines allow the operator to select appropriate parameters and apply the desired constraints to the fitting process. It is highly likely that the software will provide an output which reports these a
30、nd usually includes the facility to copy them for use with another spectrum. Such an output will make reporting the appropriate parameters particularly convenient.This International Standard is not intended to provide instructions for either fitting XPS peaks or for linking the outcome of a peak-fit
31、ting routine to the chemistry of the surface being analysed. Indeed, in the examples shown in this International Standard, it is not claimed that the fitting shown is the only way fitting can be done or even that the examples show the optimum peak fitting method. The examples serve to illustrate the
32、 purpose of this International Standard.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 19830:2015Surface chemical analysis Electron spectroscopies Minimum reporting requirements for peak fitting in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy1 ScopeThe purpose of this International Standard is to define how peak fitting
33、 and the results of peak fitting in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shall be reported. It is applicable to the fitting of a single spectrum or to a set of related spectra, as might be acquired, for example, during a depth profile measurement. This International Standard provides a list of those par
34、ameters which shall be reported if either reproducible peak fitting is to be achieved or a number of spectra are to be fitted and the fitted spectra compared. This International Standard does not provide instructions for peak fitting nor the procedures which should be adopted.2 Terms and definitions

Such parameters will therefore aff
46、ect the parameters that define the fitted spectrum and so they shall be reported.4.2 SpectrometerThere are instrumental and acquisition parameters that influence the shape of the peaks in an XPS spectrum. These parameters can also affect the results of any peak fitting activity and shall be reported
47、.In addition, the relationship between instrumental parameters and the results obtained from peak fitting may depend upon the precise design of instrument used. An example of this is the relationship between the pass energy used to acquire the data and the resolution of the peaks in the spectrum. It
48、 is therefore necessary to report the manufacturer and the model of the instrumentation used. This can either be the model name (including a version identifier, if appropriate) of the complete spectrometer or the model names of the key components.4.3 Instrument resolutionThe parameters that can affe
49、ct the results of a subsequent peak fitting shall be reported. These include any of the following factors which can affect the resolution of the spectrometer: chosen pass energy; if the spectrometer has adjustable slits which control instrument resolution at the entrance and/or exit of the analyser, the settings for those slits; if the spectrometer has a transfer lens having an adjustable angular acceptance and/or an adjustable field of view aperture, the settings of each of these can affect the resulting resolution
