Different surface core-level shifts (SCS) are observed for the 2p main
and satellite lines in Ni(100). This directly shows the strong influe
nce of final-state effects on the SCS. The surface spectrum reveals no
additional localization of the 3d shell at the surface. Adsorption of
CO in the c (2 X 2) phase results in a splitting of the satellite due
to Ni surface sites with and without on-top-adsorbed CO. From the res
ults it can also be inferred that Auger transitions undergo surface sh
ifts.
