%% Fitting spectra with Gauss % % The nappFitGaussXps.m allows to set-up your own model reflecting the % physics of your peaks. Here is an example. Check the documentation.

The residuals are very small and essentially % structureless over the full fit range, indicating that, in contrast to % the Cl2p fits, a simple Gaussian doublet provides an excellent and % internally consistent description of the Ar2p line shape.
