In this paper, the first experimental determinations of orbital energy spectra of electrons in chemisorption bonds were presented, and a transition density function which is essentially the local density of states in the surface region of the solid was determined.Abstract:
This work presents the first experimental determinations of orbital energy spectra of electrons in chemisorption bonds. Our method, ion neutralization spectroscopy, determines a transition density function which is essentially the local density of states in the surface region of the solid. For the particular surface formed by chemisorption of the chalcogens in ordered, surface‐crystalline arrays on Ni(100), the local density of states includes a strong component from the orbital energy spectrum of the electrons in the bonds of the surface molecules formed from the adsorbate atom and Ni atoms presented by the substrate lattice. The orbital levels of electrons in the surface bonds are broadened resonances or virtual states in whose energy range local wavefunction magnitude and hence transition probability for ion neutralization are enhanced. These orbital energy spectra, coupled with measurement of work‐function change on adsorption, suggest, in many instances, plausible identifications of local bonding str...read more

Localized Magnetic States in Metals
TL;DR: In this article, the conditions necessary in metals for the presence or absence of localized moments on solute ions containing inner shell electrons are analyzed, and a self-consistent Hartree-Fock treatment is applied to show that there is a sharp transition between the magnetic state and the nonmagnetic state, depending on the density of states of free electrons, the $s\ensuremath{-}d$ admixture matrix elements, and the Coulomb correlation integral in the $d$ shell.

Theory of Auger Ejection of Electrons from Metals by Ions
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of the Auger transition is presented in which the form of the distribution in energy and relative total yield of ejected electrons are derived, and the effects of variation of atomic energy levels near the metal surface and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle makes it possible to account in detail for the experimentally observed energy distributions as well as the variation of these and of ion kinetic energy.
