KherveDB

Available

The NIST XPS binding-energy database, preserved and searchable.

Periodic-table viewer with NIST / XPS binding-energy references for every element from H to U, Auger lines, and the sensitivity-factor libraries used for quantification. Click an element to see its photoelectron and Auger lines, or search by element, XPS line, formula, or compound name — a preserved archive of the NIST database and a companion to KherveFitting for looking up reference binding energies.

Documentation

Getting started

Launch KherveDB and you land on an interactive periodic table. Click an element to pull up its XPS binding energies and core levels; elements with data are highlighted.

Searching the database

Search the full NIST set by element, XPS line, chemical formula, or compound name. Results appear in a sortable table with binding energies and core levels you can order and inspect.

About the data

KherveDB preserves the NIST X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy binding-energy database as archived in 2019, keeping this reference resource available to the community.
