The K-, L- and M-Auger and L-Coster-Kronig spectra of platinum

The K-, L- and M-Auger and L-Coster-Kronig spectra of platinum in the electron capture decay of ¹⁹⁵Au was measured by means of the Vanderbilt iron-free, double-focussing spectrometer. The energies and relative intensities of 55 peaks were measured in the L-Auger spectrum in the energy range of 5 to 12 keV. The intensities are compared to those calculated theoretically for silver by Asaad. The total L-Coster-Kronig plus M-Auger intensity (0 to 3.25 keV) was measured relative to the L-Auger intensity. The measured relative intensities of the KLL Auger lines are compared to the theoretical and experimental results of others. The measured KLL energies agree with those calculated semi-theoretically by Hörnfeldt and by Listengarten. A value of KLX/KLL = 0.548±0.044 was measured. A measurement of the KL₃L₃(³P₀)/KL₃L₃(³P₀+³P₂) ratio, the first reported in this Z-region, gave a value of 0.095±0.024.
