If the work function is smaller than the ionization potential of metastable state (see. Fig. 5.18b), then the process of resonance ionization becomes impossible and the major way of de-excitation is a direct Auger-deactivation process similar to the Penning Effect ionization a valence electron of metal moves to an unoccupied orbital of the atom ground state, and the excited electron from a higher orbital of the atom is ejected into the gaseous phase. The energy spectrum of secondary electrons is characterized by a marked maximum corresponding to the...

Eq. (4). The result is shown in Table 1. The value of j df/dE)dE should be equal to the number of electrons in CH4 and the result yields 9.90, as shown in Table 1, only 1% less than 10. Let us stress from Fig. 2 and Table 1 that the maximum value of d//dii lies around the ionization potential for the removal of an outer-valence electron and the value of /jj gy(d//d )d amounts up to approximately 45% of the total integral. A similar feature is also seen for a wide range of molecules [13-16], and thus let us focus on the range of the energy of incident photons for the excitation and ionization of valence electrons as in Fig. 2, i.e., the vacuum ultraviolet range.

The Pariser-Parr-Poplc (PPP) method is based on three assumptions (a) Whenever the factor, (n), (n) (where i n is any electron index) appears in the integrand the integi al vanishes zero differential overlap approximation) (b) The resonance integrals between nearest neighbours are treated as empirical parameters those between non-neighbours are neglected (c) The one-centre Coulomb integrals ii, it) are taken to be equal to /, — E where I, and E, are the ionization potential and electron affinity, respectively, of the atomic orbital tpi, when the atom is in the appropriate valence state. 

In many chemical reactions, particularly those between the nonmetals, ionization potentials and electron affinities are not large enough to produce ions, and therefore valence shells are filled by the sharing of electrons. In this sharing process, electrons are neither gained nor lost, but become part of the octets of both of the bonded partners. 

The general agreement of spherical droplet predictions with the ionization potential and electron affinity data has several implications (1) The assumption of spherical symmetry is viable N > 10). (2) The size dependence of IP and EA is overridingly determined by changes in curvature above the level of quantum size effects, which are typically no larger than 10% of the IP. (3) Valence electrons are delocalized, even for very small clusters.
