Abstract

Auger transition probabilities were experimentally derived from dominant XAES and related XPS peaks observed in XPS spectra. Some values of derived probabilities were higher than 1, because of addition or subtraction of background signal from the XAES or/and XPS peak intensity. However, the probabilities obtained are recognized to be useful for practical quantification by XAES and AES.
