Prediction and identification of point defect fingerprints in X-ray photoelectron spectra of TiN${}_x$ with 1.18 $\le x\le$ 1.37

Pavel Ondračka, Pauline Kümmerl, Marcus Hans +5

We investigate the effect of selected N and Ti point defects in $B$1 TiN on N 1s and Ti\,2p${}_{3/2}$ binding energies (BE) by experiments and ab initio calculations. X-ray photoelec…
