In a previous double photoemission study of a Cu(100) surface we proved that the Auger process proceeds via a single step rather than a two-step process. The evidence was the emergence of a diagonal line in the 2D-Energy spectrum in the coincidence experiment [1]. In related coincidence measurements on atomic targets diagonal lines in the 2D-Energy distributions are reported in the literature. In order to bridge the gap between solids and atomic targets we prepared S-layers on a solid surface. We exposed a Cu(100), a oxygen passivated Cu(100) and a Ni(100) surface to H2S gas. This caused the formation of S overlayers with nominal coverages of 0.25, 0.48 and 0.5 ML. We excited these structures with circular polarized light. The photon energy was adjusted such that the S 2p photoelectron and related Auger electron were both in the energy window of our coincidence spectrometer. We do not find a continuous energy sharing between photoelectron and Auger electron. Furthermore, we did not observe a helicity dependence of the coincidence and singles spectra. This means that the Auger emission from S proceeds via a two-step process.
