HAXPES reference spectra of bulk Mo and MoSe₂ with Cr K excitation

Monochromatic Cr K-alpha radiation (5414.8 eV) was used to acquire high-energy photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) data on pure Mo and bulk MoSe2 compound with special attention paid to binding energy scale correction and quantification. The reported spectra include a survey scan and high-resolution Mo 2s, Mo 2p(1/2), Mo 2p(3/2), Mo 3d, Mo 3p(1/2), Mo 3p(3/2), Mo 3s, Mo 4s, Mo4p, Se2s, Se 2p(1/2), Se 2p(3/2), Se 3s, Se 3p(1/2), Se 3p(3/2), and Se 3d core-levels. The data will be useful as reference core-level spectra for HAXPES studies on molybdenum and its compounds.
