Figure 3
(Left) Comparison between FDMNES simulated spectra and the same spectra normalized by area for Pd (green line) and PdO (red line) in the top panels and Rh (pink line) and RhO2 (purple line) in the bottom panels. The grey dotted line represents the position of e0 of the metallic Pd and Rh spectrum used to determine the integration ranges (red dotted lines) over which was calculated. The plots for area normalization of 20, 40 and 80 eV above e0 are reported and the respective areas have been coloured. (Right) Horizontal bar plot of the calculated values for edge-jump versus area normalization as a function of integration range. |
