Effects of electron polarization on the auger spectra of lanthanum oxide

Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The SCF-Xα scattered-wave method has been used in the quasirelativistic approximation to calculate the energies and relative intensities of the transitions in the M4, 5N4,5V and N4,5VV Auger electron spectra AES of lanthanum in the LaO 9−6 cluster, which is taken as a model for crystalline La2O3. A study has been made of the influence of relaxation effects on the AES. The AES intensity distribution is largely determined by the population of the 4f states of La in the initial state of the Auger process. The AES for lanthanum in La2O3 are interpreted from the calculations.
