The pump-probe experiments enabled by x-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL) will allow us to directly observe correlated electronic motion with attosecond time resolution by detecting photoelectron pairs in coincidence. In helium, the transition between the nonsequential and sequential regime in two-photon double ionization (TPDI) is well explained by a virtual-sequential model. Much less is known, however, about the TPDI process in more complex atoms. Recently, we extended the virtual-sequential model to arbitrary light pulses [Chattopadhyay Phys. Rev. A 108, 013114 (2023)]. This extension employs multichannel scattering states for the single ionization of both the neutral and the ionized target, which we initially applied to helium. In the present study, we show that our extended virtual-sequential model reproduces the qualitative features of the angularly integrated observables with available experimental results for neon, a considerably more complex target. We observe an intriguing feature of inverted two-particle interference in the joint-energy distribution of Ne compared to He. Finally, this phenomenon, attributable to the presence of a final doubly ionized state with triplet symmetry coupled to the two photoelectrons, should be observable with current experimental technologies.
