Abstract
It is shown that Auger spectroscopy can be used to determine the density of valence states in compound semiconductors. We determined the density of valence states by this method in Sn and find it in basic agreement with those which we obtained by x-ray-and uv-induced photoelectron spectroscopy. A comparison is made with the calculated Sn valence band. The Sn valence band obtained by Auger spectroscopy (involving the transition in Mg) is contrasted with the analogous spectrum for Mg metal.
