Double K-shell ionization of Al induced by photon and electron impact

چکیده
This paper reports on the investigation of the double K-shell ionization of metallic aluminum induced by photon and electron impact. The experimental method consisted to measure the K hypersatellite spectra resulting from the radiative decay of double 1s vacancy states by means of high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy using a Bragg-type von Hamos crystal spectrometer. Measurements of the photon-induced spectra were carried out at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, Grenoble, France, while those of the electron-induced spectra were performed at the University of Fribourg. The double 1s ionization probabilities and cross sections were derived from the K 2 hypersatellite to diagram line intensity ratios for photon beam energies ranging between 3.1 and 5.5 keV and for different incident electron-beam energies ranging between 4 and 20 keV. The energy and linewidth of the K 2 hypersatellite x-ray line were also determined for which consistent results were obtained from the photon and electron-beam measurements.

First observation of two-electron one-photon transitions in single-photon K-shell double ionization.
Experimental evidence for the correlated two-electron one-photon transitions (1s(-2)→2s(-1)2p(-1)) following single-photon K-shell double ionization is reported. The double K-shell vacancy states in solid Mg, Al, and Si were produced by means of monochromatized synchrotron radiation, and the two-electron one-photon radiative transitions were observed by using a wavelength dispersive spectromete...
متن کاملDouble K -shell photoionization and hypersatellite x-ray transitions of 12 Z 23 atoms
Single-photon double K-shell ionization of low-Z neutral atoms in the range 12 Z 23 is investigated. The experimental method was based on measurements of the high-resolution Kα hypersatellite x-ray spectra following the radiative decay of the K-shell double-vacancy states excited by monochromatic synchrotron radiation. The photon energy dependence of the double K-shell ionization was measured o...
متن کاملA practical theoretical formalism for atomic multielectron processes: direct multiple ionization by a single auger decay or by impact of a single electron or photon
Multiple electron processes occur widely in atoms, molecules, clusters, and condensed matters when they are interacting with energetic particles or intense laser fields. Direct multielectron processes (DMEP) are the most complicated among the general multiple electron processes and are the most difficult to describe theoretically. In this work, a unified and accurate theoretical formalism is pr...
متن کاملMultielectron transitions induced by neutron impact on helium.
We explore excitation and ionization by neutron impact as a novel tool for the investigation of electron-electron correlations in helium. We present single- and double-ionization spectra calculated in accurate numerical ab initio simulations for incoming neutrons with kinetic energies of up to 150 keV. The resulting electron spectra are found to be fundamentally different from photoionization o...
متن کاملStrong double K–K transfer channel in near symmetric collision of Si + Ar at intermediate velocity range
We present a combined study of single and double K–K electron transfer cross sections along with the single and double K-shell ionization of Ar induced by Si projectiles in the energy range 0.9–4.0 MeV u−1. The charge-state dependence of the normal and hypersatellite x-rays was used to derive the cross sections for the oneand two-electron processes, respectively. The enhancement in the fluoresc...
