Description

The comparison of the photoionization efficiency (PIE) spectrum for Hg+ from Hg and those for HgX2+, X = Cl, Br, and I, shows that prominent autoionization Rydberg series observed in the PIE spectra for these mercury dihalide and their fragment ions can be assigned to transitions, which are mainly associated with the mercury atom in HgX2. Autoionization resonances observed in different fragment ion channels are found to exhibit different Beutler-Fano line profiles. An attempt was made to fit the autoionization resonance profiles using the Fano line shape formula. 21 references, 4 figures, 5 tables
