Tiivistelmä
We performed theoretical calculations to elucidate the detailed pathways following the core excitation of methylbenzoate. The classical molecular dynamics were expanded to include geometry relaxation on the resonant core-excited state at the O K-edge. The fragmentation pathways of cationic state as the Auger final state were examined. We found that the chemical bonds around methoxy oxygen are dissociative on the core-excited state; furthermore, the yields of fragment ions produced by bond scission of methoxy oxygen increased. Thus, OCH3+ and CH3+ ions were dissociated selectively after core excitation.
