Abstract
Using the microscopic theory of particle-induced electron emission developed earlier [M. Rösler and W. Brauer, Phys. Status Solidi (b) 148 (1988) 213] the role of excitation of conduction electrons by Auger processes is investigated. Starting from a simple model of the Auger excitation process we have calculated the energy distribution of emerging electrons and the electron yield. It is shown that the excitation via Auger processes should be included in a quantitative description of particle-induced emission phenomena.
