Abstract
The C-KLL Auger line shapes of the transition metal carbides and some related compounds are examined as a function of the metal and nonmetalloid components (C, N, and O). They are discussed in the context of hole-hole repulsion and screening effects. The effect of π versus σ-bonding and the proportion of ionic versus covalent bonding are correlated with various aspects of the X-CVV Auger line shape, such as relative peak shifts, intensity of a high energy shoulder, and the multiplet splitting of the sp component.Keywords
