Description
Summary:Interatomic decay in a heteroatomic rare gas cluster (NeAr) is studied in detail using ab initio electronic structure description and nuclear dynamics simulations. Decay widths of all possible interatomic decay processes are calculated by the recently developed method based on Green's function formalism. Kinetic energy spectra of the electrons emitted in the course of interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) are simulated for a series of initial vibrational states of the neutral cluster. The effect of the nuclear dynamics on the ICD electron spectra is discussed.
