3p photoionization and subsequent Auger decay of atomic germanium.

The 3p photoionization and subsequent Auger decay of initially neutral atomic germanium is studied both experimentally and theoretically. The binding energies and relative intensities of the 3p photoelectron spectrum are given. The M2,3 M3,4 M3,4 and M2,3 M3,4 N Auger electron spectrum leading to doubly ionized final states is presented. The photoelectron and Auger electron spectra were interpreted using multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations that provided the identification for the main spectral features. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
