Design Features of The XPS Spectral Data-Base System and Libraries
Design features and philosophy include the following
- Complete sets of practical monochromatic XPS spectra (wide scan, C(1s), O(ls), main metal signal)
Valence band, Auger signals, and secondary signals are often included.
- Full access to original raw numeric data (in ASCII or binary code form)
- Fully processed sets of spectra are provided as examples (note: fully processed are optional)
- Modular directories that allow restructuring if desired
- Multi-purpose: reference data: teach self, teach others, avoid problems, study problems.....
- Organized by material classes, techniques. or research method
- Practical systematization using existing software
- Self-consistent single-source that maximizes data reliability and derived information
- 100% compatible with MS-DOS operating systems
- Compatibility with MS Windows 3.1, and Windows 95 via the DOS Window mode
- On-line searching of directories by scrolling pop-up and pull-down menus
- Easy-to-understand filenames and directories
- Common chemical formula names are used; e.g. "CR203"
- Commonplace material names are used: e.g. "GLASSES"
- Commonplace technique names are used: e.g. "AR-XPS "
- ilenames are commonplace names, e.g. "A1203_1"
- Long filenames are truncated or abbreviated to provide DOS "backward compatibility"
- MS-DOS filenames are standard eight (8) characters, either alphabetic or numeric
- Numeric suffixes have been used only where essential
- Comprehensible alphabetic filenames are used, numeric filenames are avoided
