THE Z-DEPENDENCE OF ENERGIES AND RELATIVE INTENSITIES IN THE K-LL AUGER SPECTRUM

Journal Article · · Arkiv Fysik
OSTI ID:4738855

The formulas deduced by Asaad and Burhop for calculating K-LL Auger energies were adjusted to experimental data by introducing a new expression to approximate the electrostatic interaction energy between the two vacancies in the final state of the atom. Using the modified formulas, the K-LL Auger energies were calculated for eighty-one elements, the Z-values ranging from 20 to 100. In most cases the agreement with observed energies is better than 0.05% or within the errors of the measurements. Using published experimental data, the intensities of the lines in the K-LL spectrum relative to that of the K-L/sub 1/L/ sub 1/ (/sup 1/S/sub o/) transition were with one exception (the K-L/sub 1/L/sub 2/ transitions) demonstrated to be linearly dependent on Z or Z/sup -2/. This empirically obtained Z-dependence is different from the theoretical predictions by Asaad and Burhop, and by Callan. (auth)
