Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) is induced in helium (He) nanodroplets by photoexciting the n=2 excited state of He^+ using XUV synchrotron radiation. By recording multiple coincidence electron and ion images we find that ICD occurs in…

Excited atoms and molecules can utilize their excess energy to ionize a neighboring system by a process named interatomic and intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD). ICD is ultrafast, in the femtosecond regime, and has many modes of…

Molecular mechanisms that enable collective and upconverted energy transfer from multiple photoacceptors to a non-absorbing spectator reaction center are highly desirable for efficient light-energy utilization. Here, we show that…

Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) plays a crucial role in weakly bound complexes exposed to intense or high-energy radiation. So far, neutral or ionic atoms or molecules have been prepared in singly excited electron or hole states which can…

We investigate the onset of photoionization shakeup induced interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) in He2 at the He+*(n = 2) threshold by detecting two He+ ions in coincidence. We find this threshold to be shifted towards higher energies…

During the last 15 years a novel decay mechanism of excited atoms has been discovered and investigated. This so called ''Interatomic Coulombic Decay'' (ICD) involves the chemical environment of the electronically excited atom: the…

The electron removal and excitation channels in argon dimer target and helium ion projectile collision systems that facilitate interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) are investigated. We implement an independent-atom and independent-electron…

When a vacancy is created in an inner-valence orbital of a dimer of atoms or molecules, the resulting species can undergo interatomic/intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD): the hole is filled through a relaxation process that leads to a…

To exploit the high intensity of laser radiation, we propose to select frequencies at which single-photon absorption is of too low energy and two or more photons are needed to produce states of an atom that can undergo interatomic Coulombic…

Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) is a mechanism which allows microscopic objects to rapidly exchange energy. When the two objects are distant, the energy transfer between the donor and acceptor species takes place via the exchange of a…

We report on the experimental observation of interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) in pure $^4$He nanoclusters of mean sizes between $N \approx$ 5000 and 30000 and the subsequent scattering of energetic He$^+$ fragments inside the neutral…

An ultrafast mechanism belonging to the family of interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) phenomena is proposed. When two excited species are present, an ultrafast energy transfer can take place bringing one of them to its ground state and…

We report the first observation of intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) in liquid water following inner-valence ionization. By combining a monochromatized table-top high-harmonic source with a liquid micro-jet, we recorded electron-electron…

When weakly-bound complexes are multiply excited by intense electromagnetic radiation, energy can be exchanged between neighboring atoms through a type of resonant interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD). This decay mechanism due to multiple…

An excited two-atom system can decay via different competing relaxation processes. If the excess energy is sufficiently high the system may not only relax via spontaneous emission but can also undergo interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) or…

Photoexcitation of van der Waals complexes can lead to several decay pathways depending on the nature of the potential energy surfaces. Upon excitation of a chromophore in a complex, ionization of its weakly bound neighbour via energy…

Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) processes play a crucial role in weakly bound complexes exposed to intense or high-energy radiation. Using large helium nanodroplets, we demonstrate that ICD is efficient even when the droplets are…

Electron removal in collisions of alpha particles with neon dimers is studied using an independent-atom-independent-electron model based on the semiclassical approximation of heavy-particle collision physics. The dimer is assumed to be…

We provide the experimental evidence that the single electron capture process in slow collisions between O$^{3+}$ ions and neon dimer targets leads to an unexpected production of low-energy electrons. This production results from the…

We identified interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) channels in argon dimers after spectator-type resonant Auger decay $2p^{-1}~3d \to 3p^{-2}3d, 4d$ in one of the atoms, using momentum resolved electron-ion-ion coincidence. The results…
