First row transition metals Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn analyzed by XPS using monochromatic Ag Lα x rays

XPS spectra of five first row transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) were obtained using monochromatic Ag Lα radiation. Survey and high resolution photoelectron region (2p, 2s, 3p, and 3s) and x-ray induced Auger spectra were recorded from Ar+ ion cleaned metal foils.
