Abstract: Standard equipment for electron spectroscopy empowers fingerprinting the adsorbed layer at atomic-molecular level. The resource results from the novel route for primary electron energy dissipation through a set of shake-off and shake-up electron transitions, each coupled with the threshold core level excitation. Experimental evidence for the route is based on regular fine structures in extended elastic electron spectra from the Pt(100) single crystal fitting the valence state structures of adsorbed species and substrate atoms as well as plasmon excitations; in total over 20 particular satellites have been detected in conventional experimental conditions. Theoretical justification of a route consists in the mechanism being a combination of well-known electron transitions. The phenomenon is considered as a fundamental regularity of electron-solid interaction disclosing the outer shell structure of near-surface atoms alike an Auger effect brings to light the inner shell structure.
