Copper M/sub 1/VV Auger line shape

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., B; (United States)
The copper M/sub 1/VV Auger line shape, experimentally shown to contain both bandlike and atomiclike features, is analyzed. It is found that the atomiclike part arises from decays resulting in the creation of two d-like final-state holes, while the bandlike portion arises from the creation of one s-like and one d-like hole. The relative intensity of the two processes agrees well with theoretical predictions which also explain why the s-d process is not visible in the L/sub 2,3/VV or M/sub 2,3/VV spectra. In addition, this analysis shows that it is likely that the polarization charge, screening the initial-state M/sub 1/ hole, appreciably affects the relative Auger amplitudes.
