Electron binding energies (P-III)

The binding energies are quoted relative to the vacuum level for rare gases and H₂, N₂, O₂, F₂, and Cl₂ molecules; relative to the Fermi level for metals; and relative to the top of the valence band for semiconductors.

Units

eV

Notes

I am grateful to Gwyn Williams (then Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA) who provided the electron binding energy data. The data are adapted from references 1-3. They are tabulated elsewhere on the WWW (reference 4) and in paper form (reference 5).
