Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.8, no.23, p.4124 (1975). The low-energy satellites of K beta 1,3 lines of metallic Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn have been measured. These spectra are interpreted in terms of the K to M2 radiative Auger (RA) effect because the energies of the satellite edges are in accordance with Auger electron observation and the intensities compare favourably with the theoretical RA shake-off calculation. The intensities of interfering lines due to resonant Raman, K alpha h hypersatellite, and radiative rearrangement (RER) transitions, are found to be negligible in comparison with RA intensity in the whole period 151,3 lines designated K eta in the literature can be ascribed almost completely to the K to M2 RA effect.
