NVV auger spectra from W(100)

Abstract

The NVV Auger spectrum from a clean W(100) surface has been measured in the second derivative, d^2N (E)/dE^2, mode to enhance fine structure. This measurement is compared with spectra generated from both the self‐convolution of the tungsten valence‐band bulk density of states (obtained from a relativistic APW energy band calculation) and a "restricted convolution" in which only transitions involving electrons from the same valence energy are allowed. The restricted convolution for a model of the Auger process in which both N_6VV and N_7VV transitions contribute offers the best match of theory and experiment. No distinct evidence of Auger emission involving the surface resonance present on W(100) is observed. Effects of H_2 and O_2 adsorption on the Auger spectrum of the W(100) surface are reported.
