Why do some spin-orbit doublet peaks have different full width half maxima? What causes this?
Spin-orbit coupling splits core-level XPS peaks into doublets with fixed intensity ratios and energy separations that are element- and orbital-specific. Understanding this splitting is essential for correct peak assignment and quantification.
