A many-body calculation of 3p XPS and Auger spectra for Zn

Coster-Kronig decay of 3pcore-excited states of atomic zinc

“…Moro [7]; (ii) almost identical values for the double-ionization onset lying at 28 eV in copper and 27.35 eV in zinc; and (iii) a large shift between the 3d 4s at 35 eV and 3d 24s2 at 51 eV double-ionization thresholds in copper and zinc, respectively. These statements should be in favor of a similarity of Zn with Cu [6] in the behavior of the 3p core-excited-states decay (via a two-step process producing doubly charged iona), despite their large energy shifted positions for Zn comparatively to Cu.…”

“…Ohno and Wendin [7] were the first to propose a many-body treatment of the 3p x-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) and super-Coster-Kronig (SCK) electron spectrum [9] of atomic Zn. Other calculations [10] have been achieved within an independent particle model.…”

Probing electronic and vibrational dynamics in molecules by time-resolved photoelectron, Auger-electron, and X-ray photon scattering spectroscopy

“…This difference in selection rules often leads to broader, less distinct spectra but can be useful in viewing dipole-forbidden transitions. Like TRPES, AES has been used to study the dynamics for diatomics, biomolecules, metals, oxide films, and electrolytes,[8, 9, 11, 17-19]. Because of the complexity of these processes, a variety of approaches have been taken for their simulation including methods based on direct wavefunction propagation, many-body non-equilibrium Green’s functions and the core-hole spectral function as well as a more straightforward quadratic-response function formalism [20-24].…”

Many‐body Effects in Auger–Photoelectron Coincidence Spectroscopy

“…When the fixed incident photon energy, ω, is far above the ionization limit of a core-level electron of interest, the probability of observing the photoelectron (primary electron) and the secondary (Auger) electron, the kinetic energy of which are and A , respectively, is [2,[10][11][12].…”
