The extreme surface sensitiveness of the Si-L2.3VV Auger process and its ability to probe the atomic electron distribution in the direct neighbourhood of the L2.3-core-hold makes this electron spectroscopic technique a candidate for investigations of the local changes in the electron distribution due to surface reconstruction. In this paper we show, explicitly, the influence of the (2 x 1) reconstruction of the Si(l 00) surface on the Si-L2.3W Auger lineshape. Furthermore, the calculated Auger lineshape will be compared with an experimentally obtained line profile.
