Shake effects, resulting from sudden core potential changes during photoexcitation, are well-known in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and often produce satellite peaks due to many-body excitations. It has been thought, however, that they are negligible in core-to-core X-ray emission spectroscopy (CTC-XES), where the difference in core-hole potentials upon radiative decay is rather small. We demonstrate that shake effects are significant in Kα XES from 3d transition metal systems with nominally zero valence electrons.

XPS data processing for cobalt and nickel core-level peaks can be complicated. This is especially true when analyzing a mixture of oxide/oxyhydroxide/hydroxide compounds of these metals. The objective of this study is to develop a method for decomposing XPS spectra of 2p core levels for nickel and cobalt-oxidized compounds.

We present a comprehensive, combined experimental and theoretical study of the core-level photoelectron and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra of 2-thiouracil, 4-thiouracil, and 2,4-dithiouracil at the oxygen 1s, nitrogen 1s, carbon 1s, and the sulfur 2s and 2p edges. X-ray photoelectron spectra were calculated using equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory (EOM-CCSD), and NEXAFS spectra were calculated using algebraic diagrammatic construction and EOM-CCSD. For the main peaks at O and N 1s as well as the S 2s edge, we find a single photoline.

Plasmons can be excited during photoemission and produce spectral photoelectron features that yield information on the nanoscale optical response of the probed materials. However, these so-called plasmon satellites have so far been observed only for planar surfaces, while their potential for the characterization of nanostructures remains unexplored. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that core-level photoemission from nanostructures can display spectrally narrow plasmonic features, reaching relatively high probabilities similar to the direct peak.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) were employed to study the isothermal decomposition of MnCO under ultrahigh vacuum and N environmental conditions, respectively. High-resolution core-level XP spectra, X-ray-induced Auger spectra, and infrared spectra were obtained as a function of annealing time. In XPS studies, the time-dependent thermal decomposition characteristics were elucidated by analyzing surface composition, chemical shifts, satellites in the Mn 2p and Mn LMV bands, and Auger parameters for Mn and O.
