Mf. Lopez et al., RESONANT 3P AND 3S CORE-LEVEL PHOTOEMISSION AT THE 2P THRESHOLDS OF NI AND CO METAL, Solid state communications, 94(8), 1995, pp. 673-676
We report on a resonant photoemission study of Ni and Co metal at the
L(III) soft-X-ray absorption threshold. The valence-band spectra as we
ll as the 3p and 3s emission exhibit an enhancement at resonance. For
Ni metal, a quantitative analysis shows that the increase of the 3p an
d 3s emission signal is mainly due to an incoherent superposition of t
he photoemission and the Auger channels. In case of Co metal, an analo
gous behavior is directly evident from the experimental data.
