X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of elemental palladium (Pd) are presented. The specimen is a polycrystalline foil and was analyzed after chemical cleaning and ion-sputtering to remove surface contamination. The spectra were collected with a Surface Science Instruments SSX-101 M-Probe ESCA instrument using monochromatized Al Kα x rays. Spectra include a survey scan and the Pd 3d, 3p, 3s, 4s, 4p, and valence band regions. Also included are the Pd MNN and MNV Auger transitions.
