abstract:
  pynxtools-xps is a reader plugin for pynxtools (https://github.com/FAIRmat-NFDI/pynxtools)
  written in Python. pynxtools-xps is a tool for reading and translating data from various
  propietary and open data formats from technology partners and the wider X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
  community and standardizing it such that it is compliant with the NeXus application definition NXmpes and NXxps
  (https://fairmat-nfdi.github.io/nexus_definitions/).

  pynxtools-xps is developed both as a standalone reader and as a tool within NOMAD, an open-source data
  management platform for materials science ((https://nomad-lab.eu/nomad-lab/).

  The work is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) - 460197019 (FAIRmat)
