We report an experimental and theoretical study of single-molecule inner-shell photoemission measured over an extended range of photon energies. The vibrational intensity ratios I (nu = 1)/I (nu = 0) from the C 1s photoelectron spectra of carbon monoxide, although mostly determined by the bond length change upon ionization, are...
Carbon 1s photoelectron asymmetry parameters β for the chlorinated and the methyl carbon atom of CH₃CH₂Cl, CH₃CHCl₂, and CH₃CCl₃ have been measured using synchrotron radiation in the 340-600 eV energy range. We provide experimental evidence that the intramolecular scattering strongly affects beta values, even far from the ionization threshold. The...
X-ray photoemission spectroscopy is used in a great variety of research fields; one observable is the sample's stoichiometry. The stoichiometry can be deduced based on the expectation that the ionization cross sections for innershell orbitals are independent of the molecular composition. Here we used chlorine-substituted ethanes in the gas phase...
