X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is applied to two separate studies of electronic structure: 1) Experimental and theoretical results are presented for metal-atom electron binding energy splittings due to multiplet effects in the final hole state-of the measurement and 2) The application of XPS to studies of the valence-band densities of states of solids is discussed. Special experimental equipment and data analysis techniques necessary for these studies are also discussed. A procedure for least-squares fitting of analytic peak shapes to XPS spectra is presented.
