Abstract
The final-state nature of the size-dependent shifts in core-electron binding energy of tin clusters supported on amorphous carbon is established by combining the shifts with the shifts in the kinetic energy of an x-ray-excited core-core-core Auger transition. Previously published core-core-core Auger data for other metals lead to the same conclusion, but core-valence-valence data cannot be reliably interpreted.Keywords
