Influence of the temperature of a gas stream on a high-voltage diffuse discharge

Abstract

T h e L and hI x-ray emission bands of metallic copper are calculated in the one-electron approximation using augmented plane wave Bloch functions analysed into s, p and d symmetry components. T h e effect on the calculated intensity distributions of lifetime broadening due to Auger processes is estimated in a simple manner, and appropriately broadened curves are compared with the available experimental data.
