The electron-emission decay channel for photoexcited fcc Yb 5p/sub 3/2/ and 5p/sub 1/2/ core levels is observed by measuring the photoionization cross-section curves sigma(, for the 4f subshell and valence-band electron states in the photon energy range 23--50 eV. ONN Coster-Kronig, 5p-5d resonant photoemission, and 5p-5d giant dipole autoionization decay channels produce well-resolved structures in the photoemission and sigma( curves. These processes shed light on the electronic structure of fcc Yb, which is largely hidden in conventional photoemission experiments.
