Jm. Ripalda et al., Reply to "Comment on 'Correlation of x-ray absorption and x-ray photoemission spectroscopies in amorphous carbon nitride' " - art. no. 016202, PHYS REV B, 6401(1), 2001, pp. 6202
We present nb initio calculations of chemical shifts in a model molecule de
monstrating that the N 1s photoemission peak at 398.3 eV can not be interpr
eted as due to nitrogen bonded to sp(3) carbon. This conclusion is also sup
ported by x-ray absorption and photoemission experimental data.
