XPS Spectra
Manganese (Mn) Compounds
The XPS Spectra section provides raw and processed survey spectra, chemical state spectra, BE values, FWHM values, and overlays of key spectra.
Atom% values from impure surveys are based on sample, as received, and Scofield cross-sections. Atom% values are corrected for IMFP and PE.
Peak-fits are guides for practical, real-world applications. Peak-fits are not fully optimized or designed to test any theory.

Survey Spectrum from Impure KMnO4
Freshly exposed bulk, Flood gun is ON, C (1s) BE = 285.0 eV, Ag (3d5/2) FWHM = 1.3 eV

First Survey Spectrum Scan (1 scan) Collected as First Scan of Analysis Run – Mn (2p) already shows split peaks

 

Expanded View Shows O (1s) and Mn (2p) of Survey Scan – Mn peaks are split – Was sample Contaminated by supplier?
Atom% values indicate the sample is K2MnO4, not KMnO4, but reference spectra do not agree with K2MnO4. Is it KMnO4 with MnO2?
