Abstract

Electron spectroscopy, combined with synchrotron radiation in the photon-energy range h..nu..approx. =60--190 eV, was used to measure the angular distributions of Xe 5p and 5s photoelectrons and of N/sub 4,5/OO Auger electrons. The branching ratios and partial cross sections for photoionization and Auger processes were also measured in certain cases. The measured asymmetry parameter ..beta.. for 5p photoelectrons agrees well with many-electron calculations, which predict a pronounced oscillation in ..beta../sub 5p/ above the 4d ionization threshold due to the 4d-5p intershell interaction. The N/sub 4,5/OO Auger electrons are produced with photon-energy-dependent anisotropic angular distributions, resulting from alignment of Xe/sup +/ by photoionization. The theoretical analysis of Auger-electron angular distributions is described, and theoretical calculations are found to predict the measured asymmetries well. In addition, Auger-electron peaks were observed to broaden and shift at photon energies near the 4d ionization threshold because of postcollision interaction. The measured shifts of the N/sub 5/O/sub 1/O/sub 1/ /sup 1/S/sub 0/ line agree with previous measurements and theory. Electron spectra recorded through the energy region of the 4d..-->..np Rydberg states show that they decay primarily by the Auger process, while the 5p and 5s partial cross sections are relatively weakly affected by autoionization.

Atomic and Molecular Photoelectron and Auger Electron SpectroscopyStudies Using Synchrotron Radiation

Thesis/Dissertation Southworth, Stephen H.

Electron spectroscopy, combined with synchrotron radiation, was used to measure the angular distributions of photoelectrons and Auger electrons from atoms and molecules as functions of photon energy. The branching ratios and partial cross sections were a 130 measured in certain cases. By comparison with theoretical calculations, the experimental results are interpreted in terms of the characteristic electronic structure and ionization dynamics of the atomic or molecular sample. The time structure of the synchrotron radiation source was used to record time-of-flight (TOF) spectra o f the ejected electrons. The ''a double-angle-TOF'' method for the measurement of photoelectron angular distributions is discussed.more »« less

Photoelectron and Auger electron asymmetries: Alignment of ${Xe}^{+ 2} D_{\frac{5}{2}}$ by photoionization

Journal Article Southworth, S. H. ; Kobrin, P. H. ; Truesdale, C. M. ; ... - Physical Review, A (General Physics)

We measured angular distributions of photoelectrons from the Xe 4d subshell, and N _4,5OO Auger electrons using synchrotron radiation. The 4d asymmetry parameter exhibits strong oscillations with energy, in agreement with several theoretical calculations. The Auger electrons show large asymmetries due to alignment of Xe ⁺ by photoionization.

M/sub 4,5/N/sub 4,5/X Auger electron spectra of iodine and xenon Many-body effects

Journal Article Aksela, S ; Aksela, H ; Thomas, T D - Phys. Rev., A; (United States)

High-resolution M/sub 4,5/N/sub 2,3/N/sub 4,5/, M/sub 4,5/N/sub 4,5/N/sub 4,5/, and M/sub 4,5/N/sub 4,5/O Auger spectra from I/sub 2/ vapor and from Xe gas have been measured using electron-beam excitation. In order to reduce satellite backgrounds, the M/sub 4,5/N/sub 4,5/N/sub 4,5/ spectra were also taken using primary-beam energies just below the core-ionization energy of the M/sub 3/ levels of iodine and xenon. The relative line energies and intensities for all of the xenon spectra and for iodine M/sub 4,5/N/sub 4,5/N/sub 4,5/ spectra have been calculated in the mixed-coupling scheme. The agreement between theory and experiment is excellent for the M/sub 4,5/N/submore »« less

Photoionization of the I 4d and valence orbitals of methyl iodide

Journal Article Forbes, Ruaridh ; De Fanis, Alberto ; Rolles, Daniel ; ... - Journal of Physics. B, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

Here, the photoabsorption and photoionization dynamics of the I 4d and valence orbitals in methyl iodide have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. Synchrotron radiation has been employed to measure the total ion yield in the vicinity of the I 4d ionization thresholds. The observed structure, due to excitations into Rydberg or valence states, has been assigned using transition energies and relative intensities computed with time-dependent density functional theory within the Tamm–Dancoff approximation. Photoelectron spectra, recorded with plane polarized radiation in two polarization geometries, have allowed the effect of autoionization on the valence electron angular distributions to be investigated.

Photoemission from Xe in the vicinity of the 4d Cooper minimum

Journal Article Lindle, D W ; Ferrett, T A ; Heimann, P A ; ... - Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

Partial photoionization cross sections and angular-distribution asymmetry parameters have been determined for the Xe 4d and ''4p'' subshells in the photon-energy region of the 4d Cooper minimum (160 eV to 270 eV, to 520 eV for the 4d asymmetry parameter). The Cooper minimum is observed as a distinct cross-section minimum in the 4d photoionization channel. The 4d angular-distribution results are in excellent agreement with Dirac-Fock and relativistic random-phase-approximation calculations and with previous measurements. Effects of interchannel coupling are evident in the ''4p'' results. Both the partial cross section and the angular distribution for the ''4p'' photoelectron peak track the 4dmore »« less
