Valence photoionization and resonant core excitation of ozone -experimental and theoretical study of the (C)over-tilde-state of O-3(+)
Resonant Auger electron spectra of core excited O-3 (O(F)1s(-1) 2b(1)(1)) are presented for the first time. The photoionization valence spectrum with sample purity and resolution superior to those published is presented. The first direct experimental evidence for the (C) over tilde (2) B-1 state of O-3(+) is found. Ab initio calculations of the resonant Auger electron (RAE) spectrum have been performed supporting the assignment of the (C) over tilde -state. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
