Collection of S 2p XPS spectra of millerite (NiS), using a conventional (AlKα) and a synchrotron photon source, demonstrates the presence of one surface species on millerite (NiS) and spectral deconvolution indicates a second surface contribution. The observed surface core-level shift (binding energy = 161.1 eV) is attributed to a surface monomeric species (S 2- ) whereas the second contribution probably is a surface dimeric species (S 2  2- , binding energy = 162.3 eV). Surface dimers, if present, indicate surface reconstruction of millerite surfaces upon cleavage. Monoclinic (Fe 7 S 8 ) and hexagonal (Fe 10 S 11 ) pyrrhotite are non-stoichiometric due to vacancies on metal sites. The conventional S 2p XPS spectra of these phases, which sample primarily bulk sulfur states, reveal contributions from fivefold and sixfold coordinated S atoms, the proportion of which is consistent with structural refinement studies. The more intense signal is derived from S in fivefold coordination (80-85%) and the remainder represents the sixfold contribution. Comparison of a highly surface sensitive S 2p XPS spectrum of pyrrhotite (photon energy tuned to 210 eV) with a conventional S 2p XPS signal (AlKα source) indicates the presence of a monomeric surface species (S 2- ). Spectral deconvolution of the surface sensitive spectrum indicates another contribution near 162 eV, the origin of which is uncertain. It may represent S atoms in sixfold coordination, surface dimers (S 2  2- ) or both.
