Abstract

The relative Auger transition rates are observed to depend significantly on the exciting photon energy. The intensity ratios are found to vary as much as 30% in both the ${4 d}_{\frac{3}{2}}$ and the ${4 d}_{\frac{5}{2}}$ Auger groups when the photon energy is scanned above the $4 d$ ionization threshold. The finding emphasizes the need to extend the treatment of the partial Auger transition rates beyond the two-step formulation.
