Abstract

X-ray photoelectron and emission spectra (XPS and XES) of diamond and graphite have been analyzed by deMon density-functional theory (DFT) calculations using the model adamantane derivative (C10H12(CH3)(4)) and pyrene (C16H10) molecules, respectively. The theoretical valence photoelectron and C K alpha X-ray emission spectra for the allotrope are in good accordance with the experimental ones. The combined analysis of the valence XPS and C K alpha XES enables us to divide the valence electronic distribution into the individual contributions for p sigma-, and p pi -bonding MOs of the diamond and graphite, respectively.
