Reduced core hole lifetime broadening in auger final state yield spectra

Abstract

The core hole lifetime broadening is a major limiting factor against achieving high energy resolution in the near-edge absorption region for deep inner shells. This broadening can partly be overcome by measuring highly energy resolved fluorescence radiation, as has been recently demonstrated. An analoguous effect is observed in Auger electron yield spectra. Examples are presented for the L3-edges of Pd and Ag metal. © 1993 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.
