Description

This Comment demonstrates that a comparison analysis by Seah and Gilmore between experimental data on the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy intensities and theoretical data by Trzhaskovskaya et al. is misleading due to a number of serious errors made by Seah and Gilmore (Phys. Rev. B, 73, 174113).
