Abstract

Intense gain satellites associated with the M2,3VV Auger transition have been observed for representative 3d transition metals. The satellites have line shapes and intensities that resemble those of the M2,3 electron-energy-loss and resonant photon-excited spectra of these materials and are identified as being due to autoionization electron emission. This identification satisfies the expectation that the Fano effect should be manifest in both absorption and emission experiments, whether photon or electron excited.
