Difference of Binding Energies in Amorphous and Crystalline Phases

It was suggested that the binding energies of Al 2p (74.10 eV) and O 1s (530.70 eV) peaks were lowered by 0.4 eV and 0.5 eV, respectively, after annealing because of a phase transition from an amorphous phase to the γ -Al2O3 phase. [1, 2]
