“…A value of 3.7 eV corresponds to an internuclear distance of 3.9Å (7.4 a.u.) which is very close to the mean internuclear distance in the ground state of the argon dimer [30]. As most of the dimer shakeup states have a slightly attractive potential in the Franck-Condon region the dimer contracts during ICD.…”

In this work we present a comprehensive and detailed study of Interatomic Coulombic Decay (ICD) occurring after irradiating argon dimers with XUV-synchrotron radiation. A manifold of different decay channels is observed and the corresponding initial and final states are assigned.Additionally, the effect of nuclear dynamics on the ICD electron spectrum is examined for one specific decay channel. The internuclear distance-dependent width Γ(R) of the decay is obtained from the measured energy distribution employing a classical nuclear dynamics model.

“…41 Afterwards, when helium trimer structural properties were measured, the approach was qualified as feasible for the four-body sector. 24 Based on our predictions and the announcements from experimental groups we thus expect that the first molecular four-body quantum halo state could be experimentally confirmed in the near fu-ture.…”

Quantum Halo States in Helium Tetramers

Universality of quantum halo states enables comparison of systems from different fields of physics, as demonstrated in two-and three-body clusters. In the present work, we studied weakly-bound helium tetramers in order to test whether some of these four-body realistic systems qualify as halos. Their ground-state binding energies and structural properties were thoroughly estimated using the diffusion Monte Carlo method with pure estimators. Helium tetramer properties proved to be less sensitive on the potential model than previously evaluated trimer properties. We predict the existence of the realistic four-body halo 4 He 2 3 He 2 , while 4 He 4 and 4 He 3 3 He are close to the border and thus can be used as prototypes of quasi-halo systems. Our results could be tested by experimental determination of tetramers' structural properties, using a similar setup to the one developed for the study of helium trimers.

“…This condition, called 'axial recoil' for diatomics may or may not be satisfied because the molecule can rotate before dissociating in some cases [13]. Polyatomic molecules can bend or rearrange bonds during dissociation, and such dynamics have been seen in COLTRIMS and other momentum imaging measurements [14][15][16]. Thus, polyatomic molecules have many more ways to fail the test of prompt and direct dissociation along the bonds being ruptured.…”

We present experimental measurements and theoretical calculations for the photoionization of CH 4 at the carbon K-edge. Measurements performed using cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy (COLTRIMS) combined with complex Kohn variational calculations of the photoelectron in the molecular frame demonstrate the surprising result that the low energy photoelectrons effectively image the molecule by emerging along the bond axes. Furthermore, we observe a dynamic breakdown of axial recoil behaviour in one of the dissociation pathways of the intermediate dication, which we interpret using electronic structure calculations.
