An XPS is suggesting the elemental analysis in two forms: 

1. Simple elemental analysis (qualitative) -> Survey or wide scan XPS

2. Elemental analysis with quantification -> Survey or XPS wide scan

Both have to be performed using reference data - or internal standard or external standard.

For a detailed information You have to find manuscripts about XPS Sencitivity Factors.

Some simple formulas are existing with help of which You will be able to do that.

Most of the modern XPS spectrometers are doing these analysis automatically.

Good Luck,

With kind regards,

Hi,

Plz specify the material's chemistry and XPS apparatus.

Basically all XPS softs include the std sensitivty factors and based on Scofield method, they allow to calculate relative concentrations based on the area of the peaks of interest.

You need to select the boundaries of appropriate core levels peaks, then click on the right button and you will get values...!

Several corrections can be applied to the values to take into account the differences in escape depth and the analyzer transmission function correction. But that is for more in depth studies than what you may be interested in at the moment.

Please give more information concerning your sample.

As said previously, you need to know some correction factors concerning the elements that your sample includes. You also need to know the analyzer parameters. 

Please choose the peaks (originated from each elements) very close in enegy then the electrons have the same escape depth.You can calculate the area under each peak which is normally proportional to the concentration of each element.  

I am thankful to all, I will use information given by all of you.

Cx = (Ix / Sx) / (Σ Ik / Sk), where Sx = ASF

please elaborate the components
