Auger effect spectator

Let us describe several recent applications of the Fano-ADC theory to Auger decay in multiply ionized systems. We shall start with the simplest problem of this kind - effect of a single neighboring charge on the rate of atomic Auger decay. Then, we shall explore the effect of a spectator vacancy residing... 

Let us now consider the effect of a spectator vacancy on the Auger rate of the C, N, and O core hole in CH4, NH3, and H20 molecules, respectively. These molecules are isoelectronic with Ne however, the degeneracy of the outer valence orbitals is preserved only in the tetrahedral CH4. The Fano-ADC Auger widths of the singly core-ionized molecules [44] are presented in Table 6.4 alongside the available literature data. The calculated total Auger...
