Binding energy correction

KherveFitting can auto-align spectra to a reference peak — typically C 1s C-C at 284.8 eV.

How it works

The software searches for a peak labelled C1s C-C and computes the offset to the target binding energy (configurable in Preferences → Instrument Settings). Click the green BE-correction button to apply the offset to every peak in the fitting grid and the Results grid.

C1s aligned to 284.8 eV

Reverting

Type 0.00 into the numeric BE-correction control and click on the plot. The original binding energy values are restored.

Custom reference peaks

Any peak label can serve as the reference — change the target name and energy in Preferences → Instrument Settings. Useful for charge-corrected oxide work (e.g. lattice O 1s at 530.0 eV) or insulating samples where C-C contamination is unreliable.
