Shell-dependent core-level chemical shifts observed in free xenon clusters

• Photoelectron and Auger electron spectra following Xe-3d and Xe-4d ionization of free xenon clusters have been measured using synchrotron radiation. The atom-to-surface and atom-to-bulk binding energy shifts found in the Xe-3d and the subsequent M5N4,5N4,5 Auger decay are about 15% larger than those observed in the Xe-4d and N4,5O2,3O2,3 measurements. This experimental result is also considered theoretically.
