The inner valence region of CO/Pd(100) p(2√2×√2)R45° has been studied by angular resolved photoemission at the Pd 4d Cooper minimum, and with resonant Auger spectroscopy at photon energies corresponding to the C 1s and O 1s x-ray absorption (XA) maxima of the unoccupied parts of the 2π*-Pd 4d hybrid (2πun). Previously unobserved inner valence states are revealed in the direct photoemission and are

Energy distributions of slow electrons (0 to 10eV) emitted by thin layers of NaCl and KBr irradiated by monochromatic XUV photons with various energies in the interval of 50 to 300 eV are measured. For all cases the photoelectron spectrum starts with an intense peak of slow secondaries and has a hot-secondary structure at the energies 1 to 5 eV. The smaller the photon absorption depth, the stronge

Three-hole satellites (3d7 final-state configuration) in the nickel valence-band photoelectron spectrum have been identified at 13 and 18 eV binding energy with use of synchrotron radiation from the MAX storage ring. The three-hole satellites show resonances at photon energies close to the threshold for excitation of 3p53d9 core-hole shake-up states. The 13-eV satellite also shows a resonance dire

The design of a photoemission microprobe beamline at the MAX laboratory is presented. The beamline will utilize the radiation from a 26 period undulator on the 550-MeV MAX storage ring. The beamline will be capable of providing about 1010 photons/s of monochromatized radiation (bandwidth better than 0.25 eV) in the energy range of 20 to 150 eV focused into a submicrometer focal spot. It will be us

The 550 MeV storage ring at MAX-LAB provides synchrotron radiation for a large community of users. An important part of the scientific program is photoelectron spectroscopy studies of semiconductor and metal surfaces and interfaces. Here is a brief review of some of the experimental efforts obtained in this area. Results are shown for the Ge(100)2×1:As, Si(111):Au, Mo(110):Yb and Mo(110):Sm system

Soft x-ray emission spectroscopy is a common tool for the study of the electronic structure of molecules and solids. However, the interpretation of spectra is sometimes made difficult by overlaying lines due to satellite transitions or close-lying core holes. Also, irrelevant inner core transitions may accidentally fall in the wavelength region under study. These problems, which often arise for sp

Soft x-ray emission spectra of TiN, excited by monochromatized synchrotron radiation, have been recorded in a grazing-incidence spectrometer. The tunability of the excitation energy has allowed the pure N K and Ti LIII emission spectra to be isolated for the first time. A new type of resonance is observed in the Ti L emission spectrum, and interpreted as due to the decay of a quasiatomic intermedi

The Lorentzian lifetime widths of the 4d and 4f levels in the sixth-period elements W74 to Bi83 have been measured using photoelectron spectroscopy. A compilation of 4f-level widths from the literature is also made. The general trend of the 4f-level widths is well reproduced by McGuires calculations, although the absolute widths seem to be underestimated. The 4d5/2-level width shows a remarkable c

Core-exciton-induced desorption of O and H from MgO(100) and MgO(111) has been observed using photon excitation energies spanning the O K edge. Electron-yield data from partially oxidized Mg implies that these states are localized in the near-surface region. O and H desorption results from the decay of different O core-exciton states as well as the states produced by interband transitions. The O e
