Abstract

By x-ray bombardment of metal single crystals, x rays of KLL radiative Auger electrons are observed on the low-energy side of the K\ensuremath{\alpha} lines. Unlike the usual radiative Auger process where x-ray continua result, we find x rays in the form of sharp lines that originate from a hitherto unobserved virtual Raman process. To our surprise this is the dominant radiative Auger process in the investigated single crystals.
