Threshold photoemission spectroscopy (TPES) is used to measure the Fe 2p spectrum of a stainless steel sample. The obtained spectrum is compared with analogous spectra measured by X-ray photoemission and absorption spectroscopies. The results of this comparison suggest that resonant two-electron autoionization processes, rather than direct photoemission from the core level, are the main mechanisms contributing to the signal. Limits and applicability of this experimental approach to investigate bulk electronic properties in solids are discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Threshold photoemission spectroscopy (TPES) is used to measure the Fe 2p spectrum of a stainless steel sample. The obtained spectrum is compared with analogous spectra measured by X-ray photoemission and absorption spectroscopies. The results of this comparison suggest that resonant two-electron autoionization processes, rather than direct photoemission from the core level, are the main mechanisms contributing to the signal. Limits and applicability of this experimental approach to investigate bulk electronic properties in solids are discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
