34. i) was used for the calculation of the atomic concentration ratio of the species on surfaces. C, I, and S represent the atomic concentration, XPS intensity, and XPS sensitivity factor, respectively. S values used with the ESCALAB 220i-XL are as follows: C 1s, 1.00; N 1s, 1.80; O 1s, 2.93; Si 2s, 0.95; Au 4f, 17.12.
