Table 1.

Relevant parameters obtained from the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data analysis represented in Figure 5: energies and integral amplitudes for each separate component used in the fit. The corrected amplitudes (Acorr) are obtained by dividing the integral amplitudes (A) by the Wagner atomic sensitivity factors [60]. The binding energies (BE) represented are that of the maximum angular moment line from each doublet: jmax = 3/2 for 2p states and 5/2 for 3d states. Experimental errors are of the order of ± the least significant digit of each binding energy or integral amplitude.
