Tiivistelmä
The Auger decay of the spin-orbit and molecular-field split Br 3d(-1) core holes in HBr is investigated, both by a photoelectron-Auger-electron coincidence experiment and by ab initio calculations based on the one-center approximation. The branching ratios for the Auger decay of the five different core-hole states to the 4p(sigma, pi)(-2) dicationic final states are determined. Experimental and theoretical data are in good agreement and conform to results for the 4p pi(-2) final states from a previous analysis of the high-resolution conventional Auger-electron spectrum. The branching ratios for the Br 3d(-1) Auger decay to the 4p(sigma, pi)(-2) with Sigma symmetry follow the propensity rule of L2,3VV Auger decay [S. Svensson, A. Ausmees, S. J. Osborne, G. Bray, F. Gel'mukhanov, H. angstrom gren, A. Naves de Brito, O.-P. Sairanen, A. Kivimaki, E. Nommiste, H. Aksela, and S. Aksela, Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 3021 (1994)] stating that the oriented core holes decay preferentially by involving a valence electron from an orbital with the same spatial orientation. For the M4,5VV decay in HBr this propensity rule has to be supplemented by the requirement that the Auger-electron channel and the other valence orbital have the same preferential orientation. We also probe the influence of the Auger kinetic energy on the distortion of the photoline caused by the postcollision interaction effect. For small kinetic energies, differences between experimental results and theoretical predictions are identified.
