Theoretical interpretation of molecular Auger spectra

Abstract

Some recent developments in understanding molecular Auger spectra are presented. Methods for the calculation of transition energies and intensities are considered with particular emphasis on semiempirical approaches for complex polyatomic molecules. Participator and spectator resonant Auger effects, localisation effects, especially for the HF and CF 4 molecules and Auger spectra from two like atoms in different chemical environments, notably CH 3CN and CH 3NC, are addressed.
