A review of experiments on ICD
• The ICD process (in general)
• Proposition: Demonstrate it in an experiment
Graphics: V. Averbukh
• Make (or take) weakly bonded system– so far: clusters, liquid jet
• Excite (photons, electrons, other particles)– so far: single photon ionization with synchrotron radiation,
particle impact (few experiments)
• ( Make sure that system is in ICD active state )– so far: photoelectron-‘ICD decay product’ coincidence experiment
or: ‘resonant ICD’, ICD-like decay after resonant excitation
• Detect decay products of ICD (electrons, ions)– so far: electron spectroscopy, ion spectroscopy & various combinations
fluorescence (few experiments, only for resonant ICD)
• ( Add time information to the experiment )
Graphics: Till Jahnke

Experimental Prerequisites: Excitation
• Amount of energy needed:– Inner valence ICD of atomic and molecular clusters: some tens of eV– Core level ICD, Auger-ICD cascades: some hundreds of eV
Future (?):– Cascade processes in radiation chemistry: hundreds of keV to MeV– Anionic initial states: few eV– ICD-like processes in quantum dots: vis. or IR range
• (single) photon impact– energy transfer known
• particle impact– inelastic scattering, energy transfer hard to control

Experimental Prerequisites: Charged particle spectroscopy
• Measure energy of single electrons/single ions– Strategy 1:
Deflect by electric and/or magnetic, measure bendedness of trajectory– Strategy 2:
Use fast enough stopwatch
• ad 1)– e.g. hemispherical electron analyser– most widespread, robust, commercially available, easy to operate
• ad 2)– e.g. ‘magnetic bottle spectrometers’, ‘reaction microscopes’– exotic, homemade, requires experienced team – some advantages in research on ICD

Coulomb explosion due to ICD: Results (Till Jahnke et al.)
T. Jahnke et al., PRL 93 163401 (2004)
• Experimental strategy– Search for electron, ion, ion coincidence
– Require ion pairs with p1 = -p2
• Plot kinetic energy of ions vs. kinetic energy of electrons
– Ions: ‘Kinetic energy release’ (KER)– Energy conservation

Current work: Efficiency of ICD (aau)
• Coincidence detection allows to rigorously establish efficiency of ICD• Idea:
– Count photoelectrons– Count ICD electrons = number of coincidence events– Efficiency = (# of coinc.) dividec by (# of photoelectrons)
• Real world: finite detection efficiency g:
(P: coincidence count, p: non-coincident counts, a: ICD efficiency)
• Apparatus factors g can be determined from measurement of (e.g.) atomic Auger decay, e.g. Xe 4d (NOO)
• Example: Ne
• Result: aau = 0.99 ± 0.11

• (c: degree of condensation, f: inelastic scattering losses, x: deviation monomer-cluster cross section)
• Large systematic error bars due to peak-background separation (bg from inelastic scattering)

How important is ICD ?
• Proportion of states that can decay by ICD (very approximate)– singly to doubly ionized (photoionization): around 20 %– doubly to triply ionized (Auger-ICD cascade): 20 to 50 %– singly to doubly ionized (resonant Auger-ICD cascade): over 50 %
• Resonant excitation: Select site of excitation
Produce site selective excitations, all of which decay by emitting an ICD electron

ETMD vs ICD (II)
Decay via charge transfer (ETMD) can compete with decay via energy transfer (ICD) if
• Decay via energy transfer is energetically not allowed (this talk)
• Decay via energy transfer is forbidden by selection rulesSakai, Ueda et al., PRL 106, 033401 (2011)see also Jahnke et al., PRL 99, 153401 (2007).

• Successful experimental strategies to detect ICD so far
– Electron spectroscopy– Electron, (Electron | Ion) coincidence spectroscopy
(better discrimination against inelastic scattering background)
• Samples so far
– Rare gas dimers,– Larger rare gas clusters, water cluster– Liquid jet targets
• Future (wishes)– Greater variety in both sample preparation and detection techniques
