Numerical Deconvolution of Photoelectron Spectra of Liquids.

摘要

Described is a method for the deconvolution or removal of spectral broadening due to electron interactions with solvent in liquid-phase ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. Certain differences between this usage of deconvolution and its usual applications in pes are noted. Application of the technique is illustrated using synthetic and experimental data. Possible uses include recovering the 'original' photoemission spectrum before broadening by liquid as well as studying the mechanism of energy loss in solvent. Effects of unscattered electrons on the interpretation of this procedure are discussed. (Author)
