Hard-X-Ray-Induced Multistep Ultrafast Dissociation
Open accessAbstract
Creation of deep core holes with very short (τ≤1 fs) lifetimes triggers a chain of relaxation events leading to extensive nuclear dynamics on a few-femtosecond time scale. Here we demonstrate a general multistep ultrafast dissociation on an example of HCl following Cl 1s→σ^{*} excitation. Intermediate states with one or multiple holes in the shallower core electron shells are generated in the course of the decay cascades. The repulsive character and large gradients of the potential energy surfaces of these intermediates enable ultrafast fragmentation after the absorption of a hard x-ray photon.

Because of the cascade Auger effect, the ultrafast nuclear motion occurring in the first intermediate state is amplified through the different dissociative intermediate states and leads to the ultrafast dissociation, with the Auger electron emitted by the fragment and not by the molecule.
“Because of the cascade Auger effect, the ultrafast nuclear motion occurring in the first intermediate state is amplified through the different dissociative intermediate states and leads to the ultrafast dissociation as illustrated in figure 6: the Auger electron is emitted by the fragment and not by the molecule [24,25].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
