Evidence of Single-Photon Two-Site Core Double Ionization ofC2H2Molecules

Abstract: We observe the formation in a single-photon transition of two core holes, each at a different carbon atom of the C2H2 molecule. At a photon energy of 770.5 eV, the probability of this 2-site core double ionization amounts to 1.6 ± 0.4% of the 1-site core double ionization. A simple theoretical model based on the knockout mechanism gives reasonable agreement with experiment. Spectroscopy and Auger decays of the associated double core hole states are also investigated.

“…These double core-hole states have received significant attention, because in electron spectroscopy they show more sensitivity to the chemical environment than single core-holes [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Moreover, the appearance of multiple core vacancies may help to reduce the radiation damage in prospective single-molecule coherent diffractive imaging experiments because they temporarily reduce the x-ray absorption in the sample [2,33].…”

“…[13][14][15][16] and references therein) or shake-off states and their energies and decay processes are hitherto unknown. At even higher energies it becomes possible to create a double vacancy in the core, that is, in the present context, a hollow molecule with no electrons left in the 1s orbital [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. States of this sort are so far unknown in water, but certainly of interest and possibly significant.…”
