XPS in industry—Problems with binding energies in journals and binding energy databases
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of existing X-ray Photo-Electron Spectroscopy (XPS) data-banks is presented, focusing on three major problems in all existing databanks: (a) the widespread use of different calibration energies, (b) the wide use of various energy scales, and (c) the use of a user-defined binding energy for the C 1s peak attributed to hydrocarbon moieties.

ESCA applied to polymers. XXXI. A theoretical investigation of molecular core binding and relaxation energies in a series of prototype systems for nitrogen and oxygen functionalities in polymers
David T. Clark,A. Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, non-empirical LCAO MO SCF computations were performed on the ground and core-hole states of a range of nitrogen-containing model systems which encompass most of the common functionalities of interest in the study of polymers.

An esca study of the surface chemistry of cellulose nitrates and double based propellants, with particular reference to their degradation in ultra-violet light
D.T. Clark,P.J. Stephenson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the photo-degradation of cellulose nitrates of differing degrees of substitution and double-based propellants from the surface point of view was studied. But the results were limited to the case of double-base propellants.

E.s.c.a. studies of the nitration and denitration of cellulosic materials
D.T. Clark,P.J. Stephenson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative rates of the nitration and denitration of cellulose and cellulose nitrate, respectively (in the form of linters paper), have been monitored in the outermost few tens of Angstroms of the fibres using e.g. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
