Description

The molecular orbital Auger electron spectra produced in the decay of an autoionizing state of a transient molecule formed in collisions between krypton ions and xenon atoms are investigated at impact energies between 50 keV and 1050 keV. Quantitative spectroscopy of quasimolecules is obtained regarding the energies and widths of the quasimolecular levels. The experimental molecular orbital derived from the singles spectra is identified as a 4dδ and is compared with a Kr-Xe correlation diagram. The agreement between experiment and theory is found to be satisfactory. The Auger decay probabilities estimated from data show a large width (∼10eV) of the autoionizing level. (author). 8 refs
