Abstract
Auger photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy provides an opportunity to study the origin and dynamics of Auger and photoelectron transitions. In such experiments, Auger electrons are only counted when the coincident photoelectron has also been detected. It is a difficult experiment in the solid state as there are large backgrounds due to secondary electrons that must be discriminated against. This can only be done with very good timing resolution and practical spectrometers to date have had low count rates. However, the insight into the processes afforded by the technique make it worthwhile. The technique has been demonstrated on a number of transition metals surfaces where it has shown detail of some of the complexity of the processes occurring. A short review of some of the significant experiments in the area is presented along with the data and analysis of some recent work.
