Controlling Low-Energy Electron Emission via Resonant-Auger-Induced Interatomic Coulombic Decay.
We have investigated interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) after resonant Auger decay in Ar2, ArKr, and ArXe following 2p3/2 → 4s and 2p3/2 → 3d excitations in Ar, using momentum-resolved electron-ion-ion coincidence. The results illustrate that ICD induced by the resonant Auger decay is a well-controlled way of producing energy-selected slow electrons at a specific site.
