Description
Summary:The state-selective positive-ion and negative-ion dissociation pathways for gaseous and condensed Si(CH3)2Cl2 following the Cl 2p and Si 2p core-level excitations have been characterized using synchrotron radiation. The Si excitation of Si(CH3)2Cl2 induces an enhancement of the Cl+ desorption yield in the condensed phase and the and yields in the gaseous-phase. The Cl-desorption yields are notably enhanced at the resonance at both Cl 2p and Si 2p edges. The resonant enhancement of Cl- yield occurs through the formation of highly excited states of the adsorbed molecules. These results provide an insight into the comprehensive understanding of the state-selective fragmentation of molecules via core-level excitation.
