Dissociation of acrylonitrile into pairs of cations and neutral fragments following molecular core ionization was investigated using the photoelectron-photoion-photoion coincidence (PEPIPICO) technique. The fragment ion mass spectra were recorded in coincidence with the carbon 1s photoelectrons. Deuterated and 13C-substituted samples were used for resolving fragment mass ambiguities. Slope analysis of the PEPIPICO patterns was used in determining the fragment separation sequences in case of multiparticle processes. The results show that there are several fragmentation channels producing a wide range of charged coincident fragments. The dynamics of the dominant fragmentation processes is investigated in detail.

Using monochromatized synchrotron radiation and angle integrated photoelectron spectroscopy, the Si 2p, Si LVV Auger, and F 2s cross sections have been obtained for SiF4 molecules in the gas phase between 116 and 150 eV photon energies. These cross sections and the Si 2p β value have also been calculated using the MS-Xα method. There is qualitative agreement between theory and experiment. Together with recent experimental and theoretical Si 2p cross sections from SiCl4 and valence band cross sections on SiF4, the two major resonances at 5 and 22 eV kinetic energies are assigned as t2 resonances. The valence band branching ratios are not affected by interchannel coupling above the Si 2p threshold. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The fully vibrationally resolved participator Auger spectra originating from the decay of the C 1s(2σ)-12π1 resonance in CO are presented. The C 1s(2σ)-12π1 v’=0 resonance has been excited with a 75 meV monochromator bandpass, i.e., in Auger resonant Raman conditions, and the participator Auger spectrum observed. The C 1s(2σ)-12π1 v’=1 resonance is also excited and the corresponding participator Auger spectrum observed with a monochromator bandpass slightly larger than the inherent width. The results are compared to theoretical simulations using coherent lifetime-vibrational interference theory which accounts for the details of the spectrum. We have observed an interference shift on the transitions to different vibrational sublevels in the final state. A high resolution C 1s photoelectron spectrum of CO is also presented. The lifetime width of the C 1s core–hole state is determined to be 97(10) meV, whereas the C 1s(2σ)-12π1 resonance is measured to have a width of 86(10) meV. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract: Binding energy shifts between atomic and solid phases for transition metals Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni have been obtained for 3p subshells from simultaneously recorded atomic vapor and solid state spectra. This experimental technique provides higher accuracy in comparison to separate measurements and allows direct determination of the shifts. The observed shift values are compared to values obtained using the semiempirical Born–Haber cycle method and the peak structures of the solid state photoelectron spectra are compared to atomic 3p spectra. The binding energy shift of Cr is found to be much smaller than that of the other studied elements. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
