Slow electrons from clusters in strong Xray pulses

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Electrons released from clusters through strong Xray pulses show broad kinetic-energy spectra, extending from the atomic excess energy down to the threshold, where usually a strong peak appears. These low-energy electrons are normally attributed to evaporation from the nano-plasma formed in the highly-charged clusters. Here, it is shown that also directly emitted photo electrons generate a pronounced spectral feature close to threshold. Furthermore, we give an analytical approximation for the direct photo-electron spectrum.
