• difference in attenuation of this signal in different films. Due to the quite close binding energies of the Au 4f and S 2p emissions, both signals are attenuated similarly, although not absolutely equally, as far as the primary excitation is performed at high photon energy. The S2p/Au4f intensity ratios for

• of a “hill” site from that of a “valley” position. Table 1 and Table 2 show the differences between these sites for different force fields. Clearly, the calculated binding energies strongly depend on the force field used, as found before in force field calculations addressing 3,3'-BTP adsorption on

• graphite [38]. Nevertheless, although the absolute values may vary with the applied force field, the differences between binding energies at the two sites, reflecting the lateral corrugation of the potential energy of the substrate, are reasonably close, both for 3,3'-BTP and PTCDA. The corrugation of the

In general, XAS deals with the excitation of core-level electrons, with their element-specific binding energies, by incident X-rays. After absorption of an X-ray photon, a core
