Abstract Various copper and zinc compounds (Cu, Zn, CuZn alloy, Cu 2 O, CuO, Cu 2 S, ZnO, ZnS) have been synthesized and characterized by electron spectroscopy (XPS). Data on the 2 p 3/2 levels of Cu, Zn and S, the 1s level of O, the L 3 M 45 M 45 Auger transitions of Cu and Zn, the valence bands and the modified Auger parameters are reported. The results obtained with these reference compounds allow qualitative and quantitative interpretation of XPS analyses on mixtures of these compounds.
