The change in line shape and peak positions of valence band photoemission (PES) spectra due to change in excitation energy can be attributed to cross sections. This fact can be used in valence band studies to assign features to specific element and orbital configurations, as done by the group of Professor Maiti, using HeI (21.2 eV) and HeII (40.8 eV) light for determining the valence band composition of the EuFe2As2 compound.
