Barium Auger parameters correlate linearly with fractional ionic chara
cter, defined by simple electronegativity concepts. More fundamentally
, the variation in Auger parameter is quantitatively associated with l
igand polarization energy E(p), resulting from the interaction of the
polarizable ligand with the barium core hole coulombic field. This pap
er demonstrates the Ba2+ Auger parameter correlations, and is compleme
ntary to work published previously in this journal (C. L. Berrie and M
. A. Langell, Surf. Interface Anal. 17, 635 (1991)).
