Abstract
A thin Bi layer is irradiated by X-rays so thatL-Auger electrons are emitted. A magnetic lens spectrometer is used to measure the electron spectrum. Energy, transition, and relativ intensity are given for 14 lines. Under the most favourable conditions the number ofL III ionisations is about ten times that ofL II ionisations. In this case only a small intensity ofL II-Auger electrons is superposed on theL III-Auger spectrum. The ratiod of intensities of line groupL III M N to line groupL III M M is found by extrapolation to bed=0·46±0·02. This combined with earlier results gives anL III-Auger yielda 3= 0·64±0·04. TheL III fluorescenc yield isω 3=0·36±0·04, correspondingly. A further application of the experimental method is described.
