Abstract

Resonance Auger processes (AP) in solid samarium after 4d to 4f excitations have been studied using electron spectroscopy, with synchrotron radiation. The N4,5O2,3O2,3 and N4,5O2,3N6,7 resonance AP were found to pay a significant role in excitations corresponding to the low-energy side of the resonance region. Kinetic energy shifts relative to the normal N4,5O2,3O2,3 and N4,5O2,3N6,7 AP were estimated to be 1.0 eV and 1.5 eV, respectively. In excitation corresponding to the main giant resonance the normal AP were found to be stronger than in the case of heavier rare earths indicating stronger continuum-like character for the main resonance in samarium.
