摘要
Triple ionisation of methane by decay of the singly charged ion with a 1s vacancy produces a trication spectrum starting near 70 eV binding energy. Vibrational excitation in the initial hole state broadens and shifts the triple ionisation bands. Ionisation through core-valence doubly ionised states gives lower triple ionisation onsets and changes the spectral intensity pattern in accordance with retention of the initial valence holes in course of the double Auger effect. The double Auger effects occur both directly and as cascades, the different pathways producing different electron distributions and final state spectra. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
