Chemical effects of FKVVAuger spectra induced by photon impact

Abstract
F KVV Auger emissions were measured with NaF, MgF2, A1F3, and Teflon [(CF2)n], which were induced by photoionization. Chemical effects were reflected in line broadening and change in intensity ratios of the spectra emitted from singly and doubly ionized initial states, |K1L0 and |K1L1. Reduction in Auger peak intensities which originated from |K1L1 is in the order of the covalencies of the fluorides or the natural widths of F L shells. This is caused by the refilling of a F L-shell vacancy by one of the ligand electrons prior to Auger emission.
