Abstract
In this paper we propose a mathematical model for calculating XPS intensity distribution from a textured sample surface covered with a thin film. The surface roughness is approximated using triangular prisms. Analytical expressions for XPS intensity calculation are given. The results show that the XPS signals vary significantly in the cases of thin overlayers and high values of the prism slope angle. This model is useful when evaluating the surface roughness together with the film thickness.
