چکیده
Auger electrm specm and Auger yields of free argon clusm in the I\I('Zp) excitation regime are reported. The Auger yield specua show chmcmistic changes as a function of cluster size. The results indicafe that the Auger yield signal originates primarily i%om the surface of the clusm. The results are compared to bulk-sensitive experimental techniques, such as tMal elecucm yields my), zero kinetic energy electmn CLEKE) spectra for variable size clusters, as well as Auger yield spectra of condensed argon multilayers.

Nanoplasma Formation by High Intensity Hard X-rays
Using electron spectroscopy, we have investigated nanoplasma formation from noble gas clusters exposed to high-intensity hard-x-ray pulses at ~5 keV. Our experiment was carried out at the SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser (SACLA) facility in Japan. Dedicated theoretical simulations were performed with the molecular dynamics tool XMDYN. We found that in this unprecedented wavelength ...

Argon 3-M23M23 Auger-electron spectra were measured in coincidence with Ka fluorescent x-rays in studies of Ar K-shell vacancy decays a t several photon energies above t h e K-threshold and on the 1 s 4p resonance in atomic argon. The complex spectra recorded by conventional electron spectroscopy are greatly simplified when recorded in coincidence with fluorescent x-rays, allowing a more detail...
متن کاملEnergy and angular distributions of electrons emitted by direct double auger decay.
We have observed the direct L(2,3)MMM double Auger transition after photoionization of the 2p shell of argon by angle-resolved electron-electron coincidence spectroscopy. The process is responsible for about 20% of the observed Auger electron intensity. In contrast to the normal Auger lines, the spectra in double Auger decay show a continuous intensity distribution. The energy and angular distr...
متن کاملPhotoelectron-Auger electron coincidence spectroscopy of free molecules: new experiments
Photoelectron-Auger electron coincidence spectroscopy probes the dicationic states produced by Auger decay following the photoionization of core or inner valence levels in atoms, molecules or clusters. Moreover, the technique provides valuable insight into the dynamics of core hole decay. This paper serves the dual purpose of demonstrating the additional information obtained by this technique c...
متن کاملThe Potentiodynamic Behavior of Copper in NaCI Solutions Studied by Auger and Photoelectron Spectroscopy
The potentiodynamic behaviour of copper in brine solutions was studies. Auger and photo-electron spectroscopy were used together with electrochemical methods. It is demostrated that the passivation observed in potentiodynamic curves is due to a surface film formation on a copper electrode. It is concluded that this film must be copper (I) chloride in nature. Effect of different factors on poten...
