A dataset of high-resolution synchrotron x-ray photoelectron spectra of tarnished silver-copper surfaces before and after reduction with a remote helium plasma at atmospheric pressure.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article are related to the measurements in the contribution titled: 'Tarnished silver-copper surfaces reduction using remote helium plasma at atmospheric pressure studied by means of high-resolution synchrotron x-ray photoelectron microscopy' published in Corrosion Science. X-ray photoelectron spectra were collected from pure silver, sterling silver (92.5 w% Ag and 7.5 w% Cu) alloy and pure copper. These metals were artificially sulphidised. A remote helium plasma at atmospheric pressure was applied on the metallic and sulphidised state. Then the top layer of the 4 surface states were analysed at the NanoESCA beamline (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis at the Nanoscale) at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste. The instrument installed as an end station at the Na
