Abstract
The Pd L-3-M4,5N4,5 Auger spectra from the pure metal and several PdxA g1-x alloys were studied for sub-threshold excitation energies utilisi ng the resonant line narrowing. Upon alloying, a characteristic line b roadening with decreasing palladium concentration is observed. The mea sured energy shifts in the Auger parameter are in agreement with an in crease in the local d-charge density at the palladium sites in the Pdx Ag1-x alloys. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
