M/sub 2,3/NN Auger emission of K excited with low-energy Ar and K projectiles

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
We have measured energy distributions of M/sub 2,3/NN Auger electrons of K produced during low-energy Ar and K bombardment of K-implanted surfaces. The spectra present bandlike and atomiclike components. We have assigned the atomiclike peak to reflected and/or sputtered K atoms in the autoionizing state K L3sS3pV4sS (SP) decaying to K . We have not observed any evidence of excitation of autoionizing states of Ar.
