Silver metal was analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy using a Thermo Scientific K-Alpha instrument with an Al Kα x-ray source (1486.6 eV). The silver survey spectrum and high-resolution Ag 3d, Ag M4N45N45, Ag M5N45N45, Ag 3p, O 1s, C 1s, Ar 2p, Ag 4p, and Ag 4s narrow scans were obtained. The sample analyzed is the standard instrument calibration silver foil mounted inside the analysis chamber of the K-Alpha. Sputtering with monoatomic Ar+ was performed prior to analysis to remove surface contamination. Narrow and survey scans were collected at 50 and 200 eV pass energy, respectively.
