The paper presents the results of theoretical calculations of the shifts of Bi and Sb X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) due to chemical bond formation in Bi2S3 and Sb2S3 crystals. The energies of core levels of Bi, Sb, and S atoms are calculated by both the Hartree-Fock-Dirac (HFD) and Hartree-Fock methods and compared with the experimental values. The HFD method explains well the experimentally obtained spin-orbit splitting of the XPS. However, both theoretical methods give higher negative
