H. Aksela et al., PARTIAL AUGER DECAY-RATES OF CORE-IONIZED MOLECULAR-STATES IN HCL ANDDCL, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 28(19), 1995, pp. 4259-4268
The Cl 2p ionization and the subsequent 2p(-1) --> 2 pi(-2) Auger deca
y in HCl and DCl molecules have been studied using synchrotron radiati
on. The Anger spectra have been decomposed and assigned to the transit
ions from the (2) Pi(1/2), (2) Sigma(1/2) and (2) Pi(3/2) molecular st
ates of the 2p core hole configuration. The (2) Sigma(1/2) and (2) Pi(
3/2) states have been found to be separated by 79(8) meV (HCl) and 83(
8) meV (DCl). The partial Auger decay rates from different core ionize
d states have been shown to differ considerably.
