Complete valence double photoionization of SF6.
Single photon double ionization of SF(6) has been investigated at the photon energies 38.71, 40.814, and 48.372 eV by using a recently developed time-of-flight photoelectron-photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy technique which gives complete two-dimensional e(-)-e(-) spectra. The first complete single photon double ionization electron spectrum of SF(6) up to a binding energy of approximately 48 eV is presented and accurately interpreted with the aid of Green's function ADC(2) calculations. Spectra which reflect either mainly direct or mainly indirect (via interatomic coulombic decay of F 2s holes) double ionization of SF(6) are extracted from the coincidence map and discussed. A previous, very low value for the onset of double ionization of SF(6) is found to energetically coincide with a peak structure related to secondary inelastic scattering events.
