Core electron binding energies and auger electron energies of solvated clusters

Ab initio SCF calculations have been performed in order to support previous experimental work on ions in solution and to give further insight into the nature of the different contributions to the solvation shifts of core electron binding energies and Auger energies. As a by-product of the calculations excellent values are obtained for solvation energies of Na+(H2O) n (n = 1-6) clusters.
