Comment on 'Quantitative x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy: Quadrupole effects, shake-up, Shirley background, and relative sensitivity factors from a database of true x-ray photoelectron spectra'

摘要

This Comment demonstrates that a comparison analysis by Seah and Gilmore [Phys. Rev. B 73, 174113 (2006)] between experimental data on the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy intensities and theoretical data by Trzhaskovskaya et al. [At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 77, 91 (2001); 82, 257 (2002)] is invalid due to errors in the paper by Seah and Gilmore.
