Abstract

Coulomb radial matrix elements for Auger and Coster-Kronig transitions to K-, L1-, L2-, and L3-shell vacancies in singly ionized atoms have been calculated with relativistic Dirac-Hartree-Slater wave functions. Results are tabulated for atomic numbers Z = 6–87 for the K shell and Z = 12–92 for the L subshells. These matrix elements can be used to calculate approximate Auger rates in multiply ionized atoms; the matrix elements are expected to be very useful for the computation of Auger rates in molecules and can be applied in computations of valence-band Auger lineshapes in solids.

    We calculated the intensity of the VXPS using the values in Table 1, as given by the relative photoionization cross-section for Al Kα radiation using the Gelius intensity model [27] combined with the relative atomic photoionization cross-section by Yeh [28]. In the case of AES, we used the theoretical subshell Auger transition values in Table 2 from Chen and co-workers [29]. For the experimental VXPS and AES of polymers, we cited the spectra edited by Beamson and Briggs [2].

    The DFT calculations were performed with the exchange–correlation potential labeled B88/P86, made from Becke’s 1988 exchange functional [32] and Perdew’s 1986 correlation functional [33]. In the deMon-KS DFT program, we used an “fine” and “nonrandom” grid and the correlation-consistent polarized valence triple-ζ (cc-pVTZ) [Li, C, N, O, F] bases of Dunning and coworkers [34] and polarized valence double-ζ (DZVP) of (41/1∗), (6321/521/1∗), (63321/5321∗/41+) for [H, Si, Ga] bases [21], respectively, to calculate CEBEs and VIPs of the model molecules with auxiliary fitting functions labeled (4,4;4,4) for C, N, O and F, (3,1;3,1) for H, (4,3;4,3) for Li, (5,4;5,4) for Si and (5,5;5,5) for Ga. Valence X-ray photoelectron spectra of each pellet sample (graphite, GaN, SiO2, LiF) were obtained on a PHI 5400MC ESCA spectrometer using monochromatized Al K α radiation.

    In the present study, the radial matrix elements tabulated by Chen et al. [20] evaluated in frozen orbital approximation using jj coupled Dirac–Hartree–Slater (DHS) wavefunctions corresponding to the initial state that contains one inner-shell vacancy and no spectator vacancies in any other shells have been scaled to get the appropriate radial matrix elements for the configuration of interest. The coupling between the inner- and open outer-shell electrons of the neutral atom was not taken into account by Chen et al. [20] in the evaluation of matrix elements. The continuum wavefunctions were obtained by them by solving the Dirac–Slater equations with the same atomic potential as that of bound states.
