Auger Spectroscopy as a Probe of Valence Bonds and Bands.

Abstract

The use of Auger spectroscopy as a probe of valence bonds and bands is reviewed. A one-electron lineshape description is outlined. The determination of atomic Auger matrix elements and the question of local vs. Mulliken populations is fully examined. The many body effects of localization and screening are shown to be important. The outlook for Auger spectroscopy in electronic structure determination in the gas phase, at a chemisorbed layer, at an interface, or in the bulk is indicated. Also included is a discussion of the role Auger spectroscopy can play in the elucidation of the electron or photon stimulated desorption (ESD/PSD) mechanism. (Author)
