    Abstract

    Using high resolution core level spectroscopy, a surface core level shift towards lower binding energy of -0.13 eV is determined for the 2p level of the outwardly relaxed Al surface atoms on NiAl(110). Density functional theory based calculations with inclusion of final state effects yield a value of -0.14 eV for this shift in excellent agreement with experiment. We show that the initial state approximation yields a value of +0.09 eV, i.e. the inclusion of final state relaxation effects is vital not only to obtain the correct value but even the correct sign for this shift.
