“…11. Spectrum (b) is identified as being composed purely of autoionization decay and can be understood in the following manner: Aside from a direct photoemission contribution from the Ar 3s level, the first three peaks, at about 0 eV, Ϫ1.5 eV, and Ϫ4 eV, are due to different final-state multiplets of the 3p 4 4s 1 type, whereas those at about Ϫ6.5 eV and Ϫ8 eV (quite weak) are due to multiplets of the 3p 4 5s 1 type (Aksela et al, 1988b;Carlson et al, 1989). While CT is to be associated with a bond giving the 4s resonance width in (a), in (b) the lack of an Auger component implies that CT ӷ C , which merely reflects the minimum-energetic cost of charge transfer to create the positive ionic ''K'' configuration, and thus an absence of any Auger signal.…”
