Incorporating the tight-binding theory and the bond order–length–strength (BOLS) correlation into the X-ray photoelectron spectra of Ag(111) and (100) surfaces and the Auger electron spectra of Ag nanoparticles deposited on Al2O3 and CeO2 substrates has led to quantitative information of the 3d5/2 a...
