摘要: Abstract Computational techniques to improve resolution, remove interferences and identify chemical components in recorded spectra are becoming commonplace surface analysis. One technique, known as factor analysis, is particularly useful for extracting information removing peak overlap from data sets. Its power lies its ability quantify the constituting a or physical system. For example, if depth profile set reflects changing chemistry, analysis can be used (1) within profiled layer (2) reconstruct show distribution of components. The use spectroscopies reviewed this paper.

In addition, elemental profiles scattering when peaks interest each other during course
