A quantitative determination of 2s vacancy lifetimes in surface and bulk atoms of free Ne clusters has been made. While for free atoms the 2s inner-valence hole has a ps lifetime, it reduces to 6+/-1 fs for cluster bulk atoms. For surface atoms, the lifetime is on average longer than 30 fs. The lifetime estimate was obtained from fits of high-resolution photoelectron spectra of Ne clusters. The shortening of the lifetime is attributed to the coordination dependent interatomic Coulombic decay, which is extremely sensitive to internuclear distances.
已对自由氖团簇的表面和体相原子中的2s空穴寿命进行了定量测定。对于自由原子,2s内价层空穴的寿命为皮秒级,而对于团簇体相原子,其寿命缩短至6±1飞秒。对于表面原子,寿命平均超过30飞秒。寿命估计值是通过对氖团簇的高分辨率光电子能谱进行拟合得到的。寿命的缩短归因于依赖配位的原子间库仑衰变,这种衰变对核间距极其敏感。
