Hi everyone, i have a doubt regarding XPS,
i read that a doublet is formed, for example in argon when an electron from 2p orbital leaves and leads to the formation of 2p 3/2 and 2p 1/2 states, and an electron with slightly lesser energy than one in the 2p orbital is emitted, giving rise to this doublet in XPS.
now what is this j splitting and how can 2p 3/2 and 1/2 states be formed, i.e what is the phenomenon happening there?
thanks in advance
