  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008567",
  "term": "Peak energy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The energy value corresponding to the maximum intensity of a spectral peak, often observed in techniques like X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy or Auger electron spectroscopy. This energy is characteristic of a specific element or chemical state. It provides qualitative information about the elemental composition and chemical environment of a sample surface.",
