Comparison of the high-resolution C ls electron-yield spectrum of CH3F with that of CH 4 reveals that the trc\_ F state manifests in a broad and strong feature below the 3s Rydberg band and all the other features are nearly the same as in CH 4. This is supported by improved virtual orbital calculati

✦ Synopsis
The Cls ~ ndt 2 Rydberg series and the v = 1 vibrational levels of the symmetric mode (t, 1) in the dominant Cls ~ npt 2 series are clearly identified in the C ls high-resolution electron-yield spectrum of CH 4. In the resonance Auger electron spectra the participant Auger decay rate following the Cls ~ 3sal, 3pt 2 and 3dt 2 excitations are 5.5%, 2.5%, and 3.7% of the total Auger decays, respectively, indicating that these Rydberg states do not have so strongly mixed valence character. The ordering of the valence contribution as 3sa~ > 3dr 2 > 3pt 2 is consistent with the theoretical prediction.
