47. 1/2 is not constant throughout the dosing because of the change of the stoichiometry of the layer; however, since the major part of the attenuation is due to Ni atoms which remain unaltered and the same phenomenon involves also the O Is photoemission line, we can neglect this effect.
48. The use of the Mulliken population is critical because of the large basis set employed to describe the Ni ions and must be used only for qualitative considerations.
