The valence-band satellite in nickel (and in palladium) is described as due to a local excitation of a d electron. The calculated excitation energies show a good quantitative agreement with experiment. Also the core-level satellites are treated and, where possible, compared with appropriately selected Auger spectra.
Mårtensson et al. (1980) studied this question.
