Abstract

Auger electron line-shapes after electron impact inner-shell ionization of Argon at 350 eV primary electron energy have been studied by coincidence spectrometry. Emitted Auger electrons are detected in coincidence with the scattered electrons and the energy of the very slow PCI inducer ejected electron was calculated from energy conservation. The background, caused by outer-shell electrons was measured and then removed from the coincident spectrum. The effect of PCI is studied on the background-free diagram Auger spectrum. A systematic deviation was found from the line-shape given by the semi-classical approach.
