High-resolution measurements of ion-excited K..cap alpha.. x-ray spectra have been performed for a variety of Al, Si, S, and Cl compounds. An examination of the K..cap alpha.. satellite intensity distribution revealed significant variations from one compound to another. This effect has been attributed to alteration of the K and/or L vacancy transfer rates due to the influence of chemical environment. The systematic trend displayed by the data tends to suggest that interatomic processes are important in the deexcitation of these highly ionized systems.
