Examples
As Auger spectra are normally weak and spread over many eV of energy, they are difficult to extract from the background and in the presence of plasmon losses; deconvolution of the two peaks becomes extremely difficult.
If plasmon losses have energies near that of an Auger peak, the less intense Auger process may become dwarfed by the plasmon peak.
The momentum selection rule is therefore broken, and the plasmon resonance causes an extremely intense absorption in the green with a resulting beautiful purple-red color.
