Lifetimes of doubly K-shell ionized states

چکیده
The present work provides a reliable interpretation of the K α1/K α2 intensity ratios and an explanation of the lifetime values for K -shell hollow atoms based on an advanced theoretical analysis (using extensive multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock calculations with the inclusion of the transverse Breit interaction and quantum electrodynamics corrections). It was found that, as a result of closing the K α1 de-excitation channel in the pure LS coupling scheme, the K α1/K α2 intensity ratio changes with the atomic number from small values (for the LS coupling limit at low Z ) to about 1.5–1.6 (for the j– j coupling limit at high Z ). However, closing the K α1 de-excitation channel (due to the domination of the pure LS coupling for the low-Z atoms) does not enlarge the lifetimes of hollow atoms. PACS numbers: 32.30.Rj, 32.70.Cs, 32.80.Fb, 32.70.Jz

K(h)α1,2 x-ray hypersatellite line broadening as a signature of K-shell double photoionization followed by outer-shell ionization and excitation.
We propose a novel approach for the theoretical analysis of the photoinduced high-resolution K(h)α(1,2) x-ray hypersatellite spectra, which allows us to obtain reliable values of lifetimes of the doubly K-shell ionized states and fundamental information about the relative role of K-shell double photoionization (DPI) mechanisms. It is demonstrated for the first time that the K(h)α(1,2) hypersate...
متن کاملEnergies of Excited States of Doubly Ionized Molecules by Means of Auger Electron Spectroscopy
A new method, Auger electron spectroscopy, is applied to the study of excited states of doubly ionized molecules. The energies of Auger electrons determine directly the vertical energies of doubly ionized states, because the single Auger process leaves the molecule in a state of double ionization. We have investigated the states of N22+ via the K Auger spectrum of N2 • The ionization in the K s...
متن کاملElectron mobilities approaching bulk limits in "surface-free" GaAs nanowires.
Achieving bulk-like charge carrier mobilities in semiconductor nanowires is a major challenge facing the development of nanowire-based electronic devices. Here we demonstrate that engineering the GaAs nanowire surface by overcoating with optimized AlGaAs shells is an effective means of obtaining exceptionally high carrier mobilities and lifetimes. We performed measurements of GaAs/AlGaAs core-s...
متن کاملCollective interatomic decay of multiple vacancies in clusters.
We predict that inner-shell ionization of more than one atom (or molecule) in a cluster, e.g., by intense free-electron laser radiation, can lead to an interatomic decay process in which the formed vacancy states decay simultaneously, while a neighboring neutral species is ionized. This collective decay phenomenon can be regarded as a transfer of two or more virtual photons from the ionized clu...
متن کاملMagneto-Electro-Thermo-Mechanical Response of a Multiferroic Doubly-Curved Nano-Shell
Free vibration of a simply-supported magneto-electro-elastic doubly-curved nano-shell is studied based on the first-order shear deformation theory in the presence of the rotary inertia effect. To model the electric and magnetic behaviors of the nano-shell, Gauss’s laws for electrostatics and magneto statics are used. By using Navier’s method, the partial differential equations of motion are red...
