- Double photoionization spectra of the CS2 molecule have been recorded using the TOF-PEPECO technique in combination with synchrotron radiation at the photon energies h nu=220, 230, 240, 243, and 362.7 eV. The spectra were recorded in the S 2p and C 1s inner-shell ionization regions and reflect dicationic states formed out of one inner-shell vacancy and one vacancy in the valence region. MCSCF calculations were performed to model the energies of the dicationic states. The spectra associated with a S 2p vacancy are well structured and have been interpreted in some detail by comparison to conventional S 2p and valence photoelectron spectra. The lowest inner-shell-valence dicationic state is observed at the vertical double ionization energy 188.45 eV and is associated with a (2p(3/2))(-1)(2 pi(g))(-1) double vacancy. The spectrum connected to the C 1s vacancy shows a distinct line at 310.8 eV, accompanied by additional broad features at higher double ionization energies. This line is associated with a (C 1s)(-1)(2 pi(g))(-1) double vacancy. (C-) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3469812]

- The time-of-flight photoelectron-photoion coincidence technique has been used to study single-photon 3d(9)4p(5) core-valence double ionization of Kr and subsequent Auger decay to triply charged states associated with the 4s(2)4p(3) and 4s(1)4p(4) configurations. The photon energy used was h nu = 150 eV. Multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations were performed both for the doubly ionized intermediate states and the triply ionized final states. The intermediate states of Kr2+ are observed between 120 and 125 eV, whereas the final states of Kr3+ are observed between 74- and 120-eV ionization energy. Assignments of all structures are made based on the present numerical results. The calculated Auger rates give a detailed explanation of the relative line strengths observed.

- Multielectron coincidence data for triple ionization of krypton have been recorded above the 3d ionization threshold at two photon energies (140 and 150 eV). Three principal transition pathways have been observed, two involving double Auger transitions from Kr+, and one involving single Auger transitions from Kr2+ created by direct single-photon double ionization. The decay of the 3d(9) D-2(5/2,3/2) states in Kr+ has been analyzed in some detail and is found to be strongly dominated by cascade processes where two electrons with well-defined energies are emitted. The decay paths leading to the 4s(2)4p(3) S-4, D-2, and P-2 states of Kr3+ are analyzed and energies of seven intermediate states in Kr2+ are given. A preliminary investigation of the decay paths from Kr+ 3d (9)4p(5)nl shake-up states has also been carried out.

Double Core Hole Creation and Subsequent Auger Decay in NH3 and CH4 Molecules

- Energies of the hollow molecules CH42+ and NH32+ with double vacancies in the 1s shells have been measured using an efficient coincidence technique combined with synchrotron radiation. The energies of these states have been determined accurately by high level electronic structure calculations and can be well understood on the basis of a simple theoretical model. Their major decay pathway, successive Auger emissions, leads first to a new form of triply charged ion with a core hole and two valence vacancies; experimental evidence for such a state is presented with its theoretical interpretation. Preedge 2-hole-1-particle (2h-1p) states at energies below the double core-hole states are located in the same experiments and their decay pathways are also identified.

- We have recorded the double photoionization spectrum of atomic Cd at four different photon energies in the range 40-200 eV. The main channel is single ionization and subsequent decay of excited Cd(+) states, some involving Coster-Kronig processes, whereas direct double ionization is found to be weak. The decay of the excited Cd(+) states shows a strong selectivity, related to the configuration of the final state. Double ionization leading to the Cd(2+) ground state is investigated in some detail and is found to proceed mainly through ionization and decay of 4d correlation satellites. The most prominent autoionization peaks have been identified with the aid of quantum-mechanical calculations.

- The double valence photoionization spectra of methanol, ethanol, and n-propyl alcohol have been recorded using a time-of-flight photoelectron-photoelectron coincidence technique. The spectra show a well-defined onset followed by broad rounded bands. The lowest vertical double ionization energies have been determined for all molecules and are found to be 32.1, 29.6, and 28.2 eV, respectively. These energies have been applied along with single ionization energies from conventional photoelectron spectra to investigate a recently derived rule of thumb for determination of the lowest double ionization energy in molecules. Many-electron ab initio calculations have been performed on the dicationic ground states in good agreement with the experimental values. For methanol, also excited dicationic states have been calculated up to about 40 eV and used for a detailed interpretation of the experimental spectrum.

- Single-photon ionization leading to two vacancies in the 2p subshell of argon is investigated experimentally using the photoelectron time-of-flight magnetic bottle coincidence technique. Three peaks corresponding to the 3P, 1D, and 1S states of the dication are found in the ionization energy range 535 to 562 eV. Multiconfigurational Dirac-Fock calculations were performed to estimate the single-photon double-ionization cross sections. Reasonable agreement between the measured and simulated spectra is found if single and double excitations are taken into account in the wave-function expansion.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis is based on studies of multiple ionization of atoms and molecules induced by the absorption of a single photon. For the experimental investigations a time-of-flight magnetic bottle spectrometer has been used to detect the emitted electrons in coincidence. The method of coincidence time-of-flight spectroscopy and the experimental setup used is described. Experimental and theoretical results on molecular double core holes (DCHs) and multiple ionization of atoms are presented.Molecular DCHs are of considerable interest, as their chemical shifts are predicted to be more sensitive than their single core hole counterparts. Using CH4 and NH3 as examples, it is shown that molecules with two vacancies in the innermost shell can be studied using synchrotron light in combination with our coincidence technique. The chemical shifts of S 2p DCHs are investigated for the molecules CS2, H2S and SO2 and the influence of relaxation effects on the shifts are estimated. In the studies of atoms, the main focus is on the processes leading to double and higher degrees of ionization, and the final state populations. In cadmium double photoionization in the photon energy region 40-200 eV occurs mainly by indirect ionization via valence ionized satellite states and through Coster-Kronig decay of inner shell hole states. In valence-valence ionization of krypton by 88 eV photons both direct and indirect ionization processes are found to be important. For the indirect pathways strong final state selectivity in the autoionization decays of the intermediate states is observed. Triple ionization of krypton via intermediate core-valence doubly ionized states is investigated. The intermediate states are observed in the energy region 120-125 eV, and their decay to states of the triply charged ion is mapped. Experimental and theoretical results on the formation of 2p double hole states in argon are presented.

- To demonstrate the structure sensitivity of double inner-shell hole spectroscopy, we have measured energies of H(2)S(2+), SO(2)(2+), and CS(2)(2+) with the two vacancies in the sulfur 2p shell using a multielectron coincidence technique combined with synchrotron radiation. We describe how to extract intrinsic chemical information which is masked by the orbital relaxation effect in conventional core-level photoelectron spectroscopy.
