Normal Auger spectra of Br in alkali bromide molecules.

Molecular Auger electron spectra following the bromine 3d ionization in gas-phase alkali bromides and in HBr were studied both experimentally and theoretically. The AES for HBr and CsBr were measured using photoexcitation, and for LiBr, NaBr, and KBr by using electron impact. These results are compared with the theoretical spectra from nonrelativistic ab initio calculations and one-center approximation and with the spectra of Br(-), computed with the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method.
