Abstract

We examine the smoothing of Auger and X -ray photoelectron spectra, and the most widely used methods of smoothing to improve signal-to-noise ratio, comparing Savitzky-Golay, Gaussian, exponential and moving-average methods. We look at the performance of each of these smoothing methods to make clear what is gained and lost by each, leading to recommendations on when to smooth and how best to apply smoothing to practical situations.
