The Discrete Variational X sub Alpha -Method Interpretation of the C-KVV and Ti L sub 2,3 M sub 2,3 V Auger Spectra of TiC

The C-KVV and Ti L sub 2,3 M sub 2,3 V Auger spectra are obtained for near stoichiometric TiC. Their interpretation is based on the results of the DVM-X sub alpha calculations of the Auger transition energies in a cluster approach and the evaluation of each transition intensity in the one-center approximation. The crystal structure is accounted for in the embedding cluster model. Theoretical values of the Auger energies and probabilities of transitions allow the peculiarities of the TiC experimental spectra to be described qualitatively. 19 ref.--AA
