- We report both experimental and theoretical studies on x-ray absorption measured in the resonant Auger scattering mode of gas phase carbon monoxide near the O1s -> 2 pi region. Both experiment and theory display a crucial difference between the x-ray absorption profiles obtained in the conventional and resonant scattering modes. Lifetime vibrational interference is the main source of the difference. It is demonstrated that such interference, which arises from a coherent excitation to overlapping intermediate levels, ruins the idea for obtaining x-ray absorption spectra in a lifetime broadening free regime.

- A photochemistry study on nitrous oxide making use of site-selective excitation of terminal nitrogen, central nitrogen, and oxygen 1s -> 3 pi excitations is presented. The resonant Auger decay which takes place following excitation can lead to dissociation of the N2O+ ion. To elucidate the nuclear dynamics, energy-resolved Auger electrons were detected in coincidence with the ionic dissociation products, and a strong dependence of the fragmentation pathways on the core-hole site was observed in the binding energy region of the first satellite states. A description based on the molecular orbitals as well as the correlation between the thermodynamical thresholds of ion formation and the first electronic states of N2O+ has been used to qualitatively explain the observed fragmentation patterns.

- Doubly excited core-hole states of carbon monoxide in the photon energy region of 300-305 eV, i.e., directly above the C 1s ionization threshold, have been studied using both angle-resolved ion-yield and high-resolution resonant Auger spectroscopies. The leading configurations of the most prominent doubly excited Rydberg states are assigned by careful analysis of the ion-yield spectra and the final-state spectra to C 1s(-1) (5 sigma(-1)2 pi S-1=1) 3s sigma (v'=0,1,2), C 1s(-1) (5 sigma(-1)2 pi S-1=0) 3s sigma (v'=0,1,2), and C 1s(-1) (5 sigma(-1)2 pi S-1=1) 4s sigma (v'=0,1), which can only be populated via a conjugate shake-up process. Analysis of the resonant Auger spectra provides an assignment of several two-hole-one-electron (2h-1e) final states.

- Methane and deuteromethane molecules were core ionized using synchrotron radiation, and the ionic fragments from the molecular dissociation were detected in coincidence with the Auger electrons. The electron - ion coincidence spectra are analysed in terms of partial ion yields and ion kinetic energy distributions, both as functions of electron kinetic energy. The dependence of the fragmentation patterns on the electronic character of the Auger final states as well as on the excess energy available for dissociating the molecule is studied. The analysis reveals marked differences in the dissociation of the 2a(1)(-2) and 2a(1)(-1) 1t(2)(-1) states, interpreted as an `excess- energy- dependent' concerted dissociation process for the 2a(1)(-2) state and an ` electronic- state- dependent' sequential process for the 2a(1)(-1) 1t(2)(-1) state.

A High-resolution Study of Resonant Auger Decay Processes in N2O After Core Electron Excitation from Terminal Nitrogen, Central Nitrogen and Oxygen Atoms to the 3π LUMO

- Decay spectra of N2O following excitation to the N terminal (Nt) → π*, N central (Nc) → π* and O is → π* intermediate states are reported. The final states reached after participator decay show resonant enhancement consistent with a local-density-of-states analysis based on the Mulliken population of the valence molecular orbitals. In particular, the X-state is resonantly enhanced mostly after excitation from the Nt 1s and the O Is core levels to the π*, while the B-state is mostly enhanced following the excitation of the Nc Is → π* intermediate state. Below the Nt Is threshold, the lowest lying peak related to spectator decay falls at lower binding energy than the highest lying participator peak. This can be attributed to a particularly strong screening effect exerted by the excited electron in the LUMO.

Electronic Structure of Core-excited and Core-ionized Methyl Oxirane

- We report a detailed analysis of the electronic structure of methyl oxirane, including core-level photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption at both C and O K-shells, resonant Auger and normal Auger spectroscopy. The X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) around the C K-edge can be easily interpreted on the ground of the chemical shift between the carbon atoms with different chemical environments. The X-ray absorption data around the O K-edge are quite structureless, hinting for a likely fragmentation process (possibly implying a ring-opening reaction). In resonant Auger spectra obtained after excitation below both the C 1s and O 1s ionization thresholds we notice a predominance of spectator decay implying a strong mixing between empty molecular orbitals and Rydberg states.

- Auger decay spectra of CO subsequent to O 1s ionization with 549.85 eV photons, i.e. close to the top of the shape resonance, are presented. Their comparison with the normal Auger spectrum recorded at a photon energy well above the shape resonance reveals distinct features. In particular, in the energy region of the O 1s(-1) -> b(1)Pi and O 1s(-1) -> a(1)Sigma(+) Auger transitions which are well known to consist of vibrational progressions, additional narrow lines are revealed by the spectra recorded at 549.85 eV. In a detailed fit analysis of these Auger spectra it was possible to show that the newly found lines do not exhibit the expected distortions caused by post-collision interaction. This observation identifies these lines as caused by a different mechanism, such as resonant Auger decay processes of doubly excited states. The transitions are assigned using energy and intensity arguments in combination with complementary angular distribution measurements for the Auger electrons.

- Wepresent an experimental observation of the electronic Doppler effect inresonant Auger spectra upon core excitation slightly above the carbonK edge of the CO molecule. Thus the electronic Dopplereffect has been identified in above-threshold excitation, and in atransition of symmetry. Ab initio calculations of the potentialenergy curves of the relevant states of CO and thewave packet technique have been employed to provide a theoreticalbackground to the experimental studies. The weak feature around 299.4 eVin the photoabsorption spectrum, whose decay has been investigated bythe present experiment, is assigned to double (core-valence) excitations toC 1s shake-up states |1s1−1*2 with a strong dissociative character,and the Doppler splitting of the atomic peak has beenreproduced by the simulation.

Photoelectron-recoil-induced rotational excitation of the B 2 state in N2

- In the photoelectron spectrum of N-2 the apparent ionization energy to form the B (2)Sigma(+)(u) state increases linearly with the photon energy. Rotationally resolved measurements of the fluorescent decay of this state show a linear increase of rotational heating with increasing photon energy. These results are in quantitative agreement with the prediction of the theory of recoil-induced rotational excitation, indicating that the rotational heating that has been observed previously arises primarily from such recoil-induced excitation. Together with other results that have been reported they show that recoil-induced internal excitation is significant in many situations, including near threshold.
