The attenuation length,, of photoelectrons with energies in the range 900-1400 eV in hydrocarbon films was measured using self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols, HSC „H2 „+ 1, on gold. The intensityof the photoelectron peaks from the gold substrate decreased exponentiallywith the chain length, with attenuation lengths of 42 Á at 1402 eV, 34 Á at 1151 eV, and 28 Á at 940 eV. Over the narrow energy range studied, X was directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.Quantitative analysis of data obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) requires a knowledge of the escape depths of electrons from the surface of a sample. 1 In order to derive the composition of a homogeneous material from the intensities of the photoelectrons originating from different elements, one needs to know not only the relative atomic cross sections but also the variation of the attenuation length X with the energy of the photoelectrons. 2 The ability to derive an elemental depth profile
