The K auger spectrum of manganese from 55Fe decay

High-resolution KLM Auger spectra of Ni metal excited by X-rays

“…However, on the basis of their absolute energy position and relative intensity, these peaks can be attributed to the 3s and 3p photoelectrons excited internally within the bulk Ni sample by characteristic Ni Kα 1 radiation which originates -as a competitive process to the Auger transition -from the radiative relaxation of the vacancy photoexcited in the K-shell (see Table 1b). [1][2][3][4] (Fig 3a, 3b). From the present data the absolute transition energy of the KL 2 M 3 ( 1 D 2 ) line is 7388.1eV, which is 10 eV higher than the value calculated by Larkins 19 .…”

“…In previous works, Kovalík et al [1][2][3][4] and Némethy et al 5 used nine peaks to fit the KLM Auger spectra of the 3d transition metals. These peaks represent many unresolved components due to the 36 peaks predicted to appear in the KLM spectra according to the intermediate angular momentum coupling model 4 .…”

“…Owing to the difficulties concerning the high energy resolution measurement and the precise analysis of high-energy Auger electrons spectra there are only a few experimental data on the KLM Auger spectra of 3d transition metals [1][2][3][4][5] .…”

“…Systematic studies of the KLM Auger spectra of transition metals emitted from radioactive samples were published by Kovalik et al [1][2][3][4] . Némethy et al 5 used high energy X-ray radiation for excitation of the spectra of the elements mentioned above.…”

“…(comment 13) Detailed replay to the comments: Table 1a A notation 184.4 (1) (2)), and KL2M4, 5(68.83 (1)). -Each data with hundredths of eV have made rounded to tenths of eV.…”
