L-S coupling interpretation of high-resolution LMM Auger spectra of Cu and Zn

Abstract
High‐resolution LMM Auger spectra of Cu and Zn obtained by x‐ray excitation are shown to contain fine structures which have not been reported previously. An attempt has been made to classify these fine structures in terms of pure L‐S coupling of the final vacancies of the atom. The agreement between the calculated and the observed energy separations of the fine‐structure lines is good within the accuracy of the Hartree‐Fock approximation.
