Temperature dependent and other features in electron emission from W(110)

Description

Five minor peaks near the Nsub(4,5)Nsub(6,7)X (X = Nsub(6,7) or Osub(2,3)) Auger emissions induced by electron bombardment of a tungsten surface have been studied. The 142 eV feature is mainly due to N3N5N7 super-Coster-Kronig processes. The peak at 131 eV showed some temperature dependence and those at 116 eV, 219 eV and 229 eV showed considerable temperature dependence. The temperature sensitive electron emissions were thought to arise from the diffraction of secondary electrons. The analysis was inconclusive save perhaps for the 229 eV feature for which a Kikuchi mechanism is suggested. (author)
