Interpretation of the Auger Electron Spectrum from Oxidized Beryllium

Abstract
Auger electron peaks at 94 and 87 eV have been observed in the dN(E) /dE of the secondary‐electron energy distribution N(E) from oxidized Be. These peaks are explained in terms of 1s2p2p (94 eV) and 1s2s2s (87 eV) transitions. This interpretation is consistent with an energy‐level diagram and a total‐density‐of‐states curve constructed using existing experimental data.
