T. Sekiguchi et al., APPLICATIONS OF A PHOTOION-PHOTOION-COINCIDENCE TECHNIQUE TO THE STUDY OF PHOTON-STIMULATED ION-DESORPTION PROCESS FOLLOWING K-SHELL EXCITATION, Surface science, 390(1-3), 1997, pp. 199-203
We have investigated the photon-stimulated ion-desorption from deutera
ted formic acid (DCOOD) monolayer chemisorbed on Si(100) crystal by ap
plying a photoion-photoion-coincidence technique. The true-coincidence
yields of an ion pair C+-D+ are given in the photon energy range (275
-400 eV) above the C 1s absorption edge. The partial ion yields and Au
ger electron yields re presented for comparison. It was found that the
multielectron (shake-off) excitation promotes the multiple bond-break
ing of the adsorbate and the ion pair C+-D+ desorption events. (C) 199
