L/sub 23/-M/sub 4,5/M/sub 4,5/ principal and satellite Auger spectra of Cu, Zn, and Ga
The L/sub 23/-M/sub 4,5/M/sub 4,5/ principal and satellite Auger spectra are synthesized for atomic Cu and compared to the measurements in solid Cu. It is found that the L/sub 2/-L/sub 3/M/sub 4,5/ Coster-Kronig rate is significantly different in intermediate coupling from its value in j-j coupling. With intermediate coupling and matrix elements obtained with a Cu-ion potential (with an L-shell hole), the synthesized satellite spectra do not agree with the Cu measurements, but do agree with the measurements on Zn, when the energy scale is suitably contracted. With L/sub 2/-L/sub 3/M/sub 4,5/ matrix elements obtained with a neutral-atom Cu potential, the synthesized Cu spectra are in quantitative agreement with the measurements. However, in this case the calculated Cu L/sub 2/ linewidth is significantly larger than the measured values. All the required transition-rate expressions in intermediate coupling are presented.
