Other aspects can favour software A which has more facilities. The three software systems studied all have different facilities but it is clear that the quality of convergence to the correct result gives a general order of preference in the fitting algorithm of B, A and C.

For unresolved peaks additional information is required to provide meaningful intensities. The fit quality can deteriorate markedly for fitting to a peak shape different to that used in the peak fitting algorithm (ie fitting sum function peaks with product function software or vice versa).

The fitting of the individual peaks is only good for software using the same peak shapes as those of the data.

One full set of spectra is constructed with Gauss–Lorentz product function peaks and a second full set with Gauss–Lorentz sum function peaks since each software was designed for fitting only one of these options. Synthetic spectra approximating the carbon 1s peaks for poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(vinyl acetate), poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(isobutylene) allow an analysis of accuracy of the fits in these tests. In addition, each data system had programming faults, some of which were later rectified. The peak-shape of all signals was constrained to 90 Gaussian 10 Lorentzian. The peak-fit uses a peak area ratio of 2.0 for the four (4) different 2p3 2p1 theoretical peak areas.

The results show that all the data systems studied accept VAMAS format files but not all would accept both of the options of direction of scan. To produce this peak-fit we constrained the BE difference between the 2p3 and the 2p1 peaks to be 0.6 eV which is based on the pure Si peaks. The synthetic spectra allow tests for: (1) acceptance of VAMAS formats with kinetic energy or binding energy scales that may have positive or negative abscissa increments (2) Gaussian–Lorentzian sum or product function peaks (3) effectiveness of Shirley background subtraction (4) effectiveness of Tougaard background subtraction (5) peak synthesis with partly resolved peaks with no background and (6) peak synthesis with a Shirley background. XPS spectra were recorded with the spectrometer operating in the. The development of a range of VAMAS format data files containing synthetic test spectra and their use in evaluating the peak fitting routines of three commercial XPS data analysis systems A, B and C, is reported. The spectrometer control unit was operated by a PC running VG Scientific VGS2000 software. shape of the extrinsic loss structure is dependent on the material under analysis and any.
