Abstract
Using the well-known Beattie-Landsberg expression for Auger 1 lifetime and the ''effective'' Auger energy gap (E(gA)), we obtained a simple approximative expression for determination of the Auger 1 lifetime. We also obtained a formula for the electron concentration above which th e effects of degeneration are significant.
