Interatomic or intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) is a nonlocal electronic decay
mechanism occurring in weakly bound matter. In an ICD process, energy released by …

Abstract Short wavelength Free-Electron Lasers (FELs) are among the newest light sources
available to scientists to probe a wide range of phenomena, with chemical, physical and …

Ionization of matter by energetic radiation generally causes complex secondary reactions
that are hard to decipher. Using large helium nanodroplets irradiated by extreme ultraviolet …

X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) made available a new regime of x-ray intensities,

Atoms and molecules attached to rare-gas clusters are ionized by an interatomic
autoionization process traditionally termed “Penning ionization” when the host cluster is …

Auger electrons can be highly radiotoxic when they are used to irradiate specific molecular
sites. This has spurred basic science investigations of their radiobiological effects and …

Interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) processes play a crucial role in weakly bound
complexes exposed to intense or high-energy radiation. Using large helium nanodroplets …

The ionization dynamics of helium droplets irradiated by intense, femtosecond extreme
