Carbon 1s Edge Induced Femtosecond Nonradiative Decays in Tropone Dication (C7H7O2+)

We found that tropone dications (C7H7O2+) created by the carbon KLL normal Auger decay undergo nonradiative decays via 10-102 dicationic states in the time scale of 102 fs using surface hopping nonadiabatic reaction dynamics simulations.
