Notes:
High-intensity synchrotron radiation is a powerful tool to study photon-electron-scattering phenomena involving resonantly excited inner-shell electrons. A basic process is the x-ray resonant Raman effect which dominates the radiative and nonradiative emission in the threshold region. The one-step nature of the transition from the initial ground state to the final scattering state results in peculiar characteristics of the emission spectrum, e.g., a Raman-type dispersion of emission lines and lifetime suppression of the intermediate hole states. This has been studied mostly in the radiative channel for atoms, molecules, and solids. Data on the accompanying electron emission, however, are still scarce, especially for solids. We focus on the various aspects of radiationless scattering and present experimental results on resonant Auger electron emission from solid 4d metals at the L3 excitation threshold. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
